She's a Queen

She is a queen
Over our family
Though strictly seen
As she speaks candidly.
She'd worked so hard
To keep her home.
She'd saved each card
Answered each phone.
Her days- grow long
She sleeps them away.
Long gone her song
And clear words to say.

My grandma sits
Withered like a flower.
Her chin it hits
Her chest- without power.
How I love her
And want for her to go home.
For there I'm sure
She'll whistle- happy to roam.
Close to Grandpa
And even her parents.
As full love will draw,
What's so apparent!

In a picture
That's upon her nightstand
A smile fits her
For it lights her up grand.
My fingers must not point
But write lovingly
May what I write anoint
To all my family.
We're a little chubby
And we love to laugh.
All's not lovey dovey
But, we're on the right path.

One strong character flaw
Stayed throughout her life.
Do I too have that claw
That cause others strife?
Our family tradition
We are not above
Is training condition
For patience and for love.
From Tennessee
To Coalinga, then Fresno
All will miss Wency
When it's her time to go.
