What Is A Granny?

This is a birthday poem that I wrote for Great Granny sometime during my youth. I have forgotten the details about the death of her daughter, but I have a post about the death of her grandson Teddy. http://www.icjesusnu.blogspot.com
Anyway, I was cleaning out a box and ran across this poem...I thought I had lost it. I miss her. Love, Tammie
"What Is A Granny?"
Granny is a Mother.
A woman who gave birth to five daughters.
Lost one, but raised four others with joy and love.
Granny is a Grandmother.
A woman who was their for the birth of ten grandchildren.
Lost one, but gave needed advice to nine others with wisdom and love.
Granny is a Great Grandmother.
A woman who waited for the word on the birth of twenty great grandchildren.
Who made each one a blanket and is watching over their growth with affection and love.
What is a Granny? Granny is a Mother, a Grandmother and a Great Grandmother.
She's a woman who showed us how to stay together, to help one another and how to love.
Happy Birthday Granny!

The girls said that Great Granny's newborn girl died of "blue baby".
