Your Grandmother's Kind

You do it so gracefully

so fully

so wholly

so genuinely

with effort invested so intentionally

but you make it look easy

to be

the kind of kind you are

I've seen you do it so naturally

for me

and my family

but you see

your charity extends exponentially

far past this family tree

and these ripples are beautifully

inspiring

it makes me want to be

the kind of kind you are

your kindness so freely

given

joyfully even

without reciprocity

the love within felt so generously

with great awe and gratitude

I strive to be

the kind of kind you are

you may wonder what legacy

will be

in the footprints left so carefully

you need not worry

for I'll teach him to be

the kind of kind you are.
