Gram Ma's Pride
by Barbara Philbrook

Gram Ma's pride is making me glow from head to toe.
You make me proud and I want the world to know.

Your behavior is amongst the very best,
and in karate you proved yourself to be over the rest.

Your grades show us how hard you try.
How your every effort you sincerely apply.

When it comes to grandkids mine outshine them all,
and because of you I can stand proud and tall.

You my grandchild will be whatever you decide to be,
just keep on striving wholeheartedly.

Mama called, she sure is proud of you.
She knows of all of the hard work you had to do.

Dad is walking around with a spring in his stride.
You've given him so much inner pride.

Gram Ma's pride is nothing to scoff at,
but God is prouder I am sure of that fact.

You are His creation placed on this earth,
and He's always known you had great worth.

God has great and mighty plans for you,
and you will be a success at whatever He has you do.

God gave you a brain that is quick to learn.
There are many awards this can earn.

But the greatest award of them all,
is knowing you answered God's loving call.

Having accepted Jesus as your personal Savior,
is amongst your most intellectual behavior.

As you go through life be sure to follow His lead,
and no matter what you do you will succeed.
