Grandma Poems
Some of my best memories were spent with my grandmother. She was truly one of the most loving people I know, and I am so lucky to be related to her. Okay, before I get to sappy…I will let you start to read these amazing grandma poems! There are plenty of different styles to go through, from single line poems to long ones!
1. Grandmother
She’s the one you see, at all my birthday parties, and school plays,
It’s oh so reassuring to know, her smiles are just for me,
The darkest night brightens, the moment I hear her voice,
And rainy days become adventures when she joins in the play,
My grandmother is so special,
No one can ever take her place,
My heart is filled with love each time I see her face.
2. She Knows
My grandmother knows everything about me sometimes before they happen,
She has a sixth sense about most things in life,
She knows how to kiss my cheek, or dry my tears, whenever I am hurt or afraid,
She bakes all kinds of yummy food and can even make a snowman, too,
In summertime, she teaches me to swim and how to catch a fish,
But best of all, she knows how to be the best grandmother in the world to me.
3. For Grandma
i heard your voice this morning
speaking from the foot of the bed
your quilt crawled to the
floor
as i lay down in the
first whisper of dawn.
i heard your voice this morning
the sound of cloth
a casual sound
a sunday morning
preparing to visit your lord
sound
half your life
half my life
half my daughter’s life
we all dream of landscapes
romantic deserts
white sands
connecting us together
a half dozen roses
i play out my life
listening every morning
for your voice
at the foot of the bed.
4. You
Wrinkly Skin, Soft Hands
Warm Cookies, Tight Hugs
These are what make my Grandma

A grandma’s heart is filled with love,

7. I Love You, Grandma
Who has the tenderness of a mother?
Who has the wisdom of a school teacher?
Who has the tricks of a magician?
Who has the ability to see the world through a child’s eye?
Who has the stories about Mum and Dad?
Who has always loved no matter what I do?
Who has the songs to sing me when I am blue?
Of course, it’s my Grandma,
And I love you, and you bless my life!

28. To A Grandmother
At six o’clock in the evening,
The time for lullabies,
My son lay on my mother’s lap
With sleepy, sleepy eyes!
(O drowsy little manny boy,
With sleepy, sleepy eyes!)
I heard her sing, and rock him,
And the creak of the swaying chair,
And the old dear cadence of the words
Came softly down the stair.
And all the years had vanished,
All folly, greed, and stain–
The old, old song, the creaking chair,
The dearest arms again!
(O lucky little manny boy,
To feel those arms again!)
Chornobyl, thirty years later
Old women with side gardens and jars
of moonshine alone in empty villages,
tell me, solitary lynx, multitudinous wolf
pack, how do you do it – all my life I’ve lived
in cities, bought food from grocery stores –
what’s it like to return to the abandoned zone
on foot, reclaim your cottage beside the dank
canal, to howl, to hunt in packs, to foal calves,
fell trees, light down in the bodies of swans
and swim in cooling ponds, why would you
fly three thousand miles to build a nest
inside the cracked concrete sarcophagus
over the remains of reactor four? She grins,
hands over a jelly jar of vodka, the good stuff,
-Marsha De La O
Grandma Poems She Deserves to Hear

30. My Grandmas Song
When I was small,
and my grandma was tall
she would sing me a song
I’ve never forgotten,
I know where she got it,
The words I know all.
I hear them now, and I think of you
what a gift, when a song
is given to you.
31. My Grandmother’s Heart
Soft like cotton candy,
Caring like mother earth,
Beautiful like a piece of art,
Sweet like honey,
Deep like faith,
That was my grandmother’s heart.
-Lucio Munoz

and feel you looking back at me.
I miss you Grandma.
34. Time Changes You

But I know they are one.

I am so grateful that you are mine.

I made your mom, and she made you
I am your Gramma Sue.

I want to be a grandma one day
There is something so comforting about it

and you are left a beacon of happiness

What kind of world would I be living in,
with you not right next to me?

the person I know, love and cherish.
I love you, Grandma; please don’t perish.
