We all know that you had your time.
Pops says you weren't a bad wife, never.
For only doing your helpful crime.
Remember when everything cost a dime,
Back when everyone was quick and clever?
We all know that you had your time.
I bet its great remembering the bells chime,
During your wedding so you and Pops didn't sever.
For only doing your helpful crime.
Everyone has their good and bad times, however;
This last one is like a deadly mime.
We all know that you had your time.
But don't be sad for this onetime,
This is only a sad small endeavor.
For only doing your helpful crime.
You run in our blood, ever so prime,
We are your life, you live on forever.
We all know that you had your time,
For only doing your helpful crime.
Author notes
This is an ode to you great grandmother. You will be missed dearly.
This poem was going to be a villanelle but I changed one verse so it would sound right. Then the lines are slightly short of syllables I believe but I don't think they all have like the same amount. But I don't care. I hope you like the poem. ^^"
