Buttons from the button box
Stringing them end to end
More precious in my memories
Than the most expensive gem.
We didn't have much money
But I sure did win the prize
So much love around me
I could see it in her eyes.
From infancy through childhood
Through the difficulty of my teens
I know I'll always remember
How she helped me with my dreams.
The simple things she did for us
Seemed to never end
And still today at the age I am
I'm as lucky as was then.
No matter what life's ventures
No matter where I'll be
I know I'll always remember
How luck did shine on me.
My Nana you are special
Especially to me
God has blessed me at age fifty
With my Grandmother of ninety-three.
Raised By A Special Nana
How Lucky I Am
