A tribute from Joseph A. Hill II

MY GRANDMA

By Gladys Cooper Cole

My grandma’s hands could heal my hurt

Or cool my fevered brow.

Her care – and not a learned degree,

Experience taught her how.

I always knew that I loved

By deeds, a hug or smile.

She proved it in so many ways …

‘Twas special – grandma-style.

Sometimes she was my playmate

Oft’ times me mentor, too.

I learned to take life as it came;

That’s helped me my life through.

Then I grew up and she grew old,

Yet our loves had no end,

For I was blessed long as she lived,

‘Cause grandma was my friend.
