Kindness in Her Smile

In the kitchen, sunlight on her face

She'd laugh at every silly thing I'd say

Cookies warm, she'd let me steal a taste

Her apron still hangs, though she slipped away

The photos fading on the window sill

Her gentle voice, I hear it still

I'm growing up, but pieces feel so small

Missing you in every echo down the hall

Grandma, you made the world bright for a while

With every kindness and the softness of your smile

Oh, I miss you, wish you'd stayed a little longer

Saturdays spent picking flowers in the rain

She'd volunteer at dawn, and never once complain

She’d spin around to make my worries disappear

Her laughter’s all I want to hear

When the nights are heavy, and the world feels cold

I reach for the hands I used to hold

I'm growing up, but pieces feel so small

Missing you in every echo down the hall

Grandma, you made the world bright for a while

With every kindness and the softness of your smile

Oh, I miss you, wish you'd stayed a little longer

You taught me how to give and how to care

Told me every dream is worth a prayer

Sometimes I stumble just to see you there

In gentle memories that linger in the air

I'm growing up, but pieces feel so small

Missing you in every echo down the hall

Grandma, you made the world bright for a while

With every kindness and the softness of your smile

Oh, I miss you, wish you'd stayed a little longerI carry you in every part of who I am

Love you forever, Grandma, your biggest little fan
