Analysis of Poppa & Mother Dear

Maria Clavo 1958 (LA)

Epic
What a handsome guy & lovely girl
Two of my favorite people in the world
Many people come & some may go
I write this poem to say "I Love You So"
Lots of years we spent sperated
As I sit here with my heart preferated
For you lovely lady I wish the best
Even after your guy was laid to rest
As for your handsome guy I wish lots of time
Yet I've said many prayers, so I know he'll be fine
You are my grandparents this I know
I'm your granddaughter & I love you forever more
The time we spent are memories for me
They can't be bought with anyone's money
Life brings on changes for us each day
On your yard & the back bed I played
Still a kid with memories visiting you guys
Lots of food on the table with no fries
So much food I got an ache in my belly
I don't mind cause I know you love me
My fondest wishes of great days to come
The world voted grandparents & you're # 1
