There for me.

Growing up you where the one who was everything to me.
No matter what i did, you always forgave me.
You didnt have to punish, yell or scream, all you had to do, was look down at me.
I would know right away, that i disapointed you, and i would walk away.
To the place where i would hide, and cry in till you came.
Picking up me, and knowing from the look on my face,
that i knew i made a mistake. You would hug me tightly, and
say its ok, wipe the tears away and send me off to play.

You taught me how to do almost everything i know,
from cooking, baking, scrap booking,and gardening,
to biking, swiming, skateing, and singing.
I spent move of my time, in the kitchen, following you around,
and helping you.
I used to glue pictures of fairys inside of a book.
I planted roses, and marigolds, with you.
I didnt understand though, how you could teach me how to ride a bike,
swim, or skate, when you didnt know how to, yourself.

You where my Hero growing up, you never pushed me away.
When ever i came running over, you would have this huge smile across your face.
You played games with me, and would bet candy on who ever won.
You belived in me, when every one else, thought id never belong.
You supported my every wish, and every dream,
and told me to go get it, even if it was silly.

You always told me, storys, and listened to mine,
you held me close when i cried, and would wipe the tears from my eyes.
You didnt try and force me, into things that i didnt want to do,
you let me make my own desions, and watched me fight on threw.
You where the reason why, i kept fighting this fight,
the reason, why i am alive, when i wanted to lay down and die.

If it wasnt for you, and all that you did,
i wouldnt be who i am, or do the things i do.
I wouldnt be the same person, that i am today,
and for that i am gratifull, that i can say,
that i had you, the entire way.
Till the day, you had to leave,
God wanted his child to come on home,
even though i wanted you to stay,
i couldnt stop him, anyway.

Even though your done today,
ill never forget you, or what
you've done for me.

I love you always and forever,
your great-great- grandaughter.
