Grandma’s Rocking Chair

Grandma’s rocking chair is empty these days

But I have the memories .

She would pull it out into the middle of her living room ,

 

As the world turns .

I would sit in her special cradle

As she watched TV and put me to sleep .

As I got older

I would sit on her lap .

I knew I could tell her anything  .

 

When I was sad

She would bring me light .

She would teach me what matters most .

She lead me to be thankful for the gift of faith .

 

She would rock in her chair

Until she died

And her rosary  was in her hand always .

She would say the rosary more than once a day  .

 

I carry my rosary with me every day

Just like my father did

And just like my grandma did .

I say the rosary when I can .

Yes I can

Dad and Grandma and God know .

They know I have grandma’s rocking chair

To help me make it through any day .
