My Superhero

[Phoenix J. Star]

She's always worked at least
three jobs to keep dinner on
the table and clothes on
the kids.
She's always been there when
one was sick,
adhearing to every wish,
always right at their bedside.
She made a promise to her
mother to never let anyone
but her take care of her in her
old age.
She's always promised the kids
she'd always be there to pick them
up when they fall down.
She's always made sure each
Christmas was one to always be
remembered.
She was at every football game,
every band competition,
every dance recital,
every piano recital,
and she was always front and center
with her camera to capture
each precious moment of
her little darlings at their
moments to shine.
She's kept every promise she's
ever made.
And now in her time of need,
stubborn as a mule,
she still tries to take care of
everyone.
At holidays she's right there over
your shoulder making sure
you get that stuffing just right,
making sure the turkey isin't
too dry,
making sure you make that
sweet potato caserole to perfection.
still making sure that everyone
gets what they want for
Christmas,
making sure the little ones have
christmas's they'll remember
for years to come,
treating each day as if it were
her last on earth.
Now in her time of need,
I make sure she has everything
she wants and gets to do the things
she loves to do.
She knows it won't be long,
but she's holding on for as
long as she can,
savoring each and every moment
spent with each and every one of
her children and their children.
She tells me to be prepared,
but when its her time to go,
a part of me will die with her.
She's my gran, and I love her dearly,
and as long as she's still here,
I"ll make sure I take care of her
when she's sick,
adhere to her every wish and demand.
She's always been there fore me,
now its time for me to be there for her.
And I will do so.
