Grandma, Your Birthday is Coming Soon: Were You Ever Young like Me?

I heard you have a birthday coming soon. For you, it will be a special day
I have just a few questions for you, grandma, if I may

Grandma, you're getting very old, old as can be
When I brush your hair, there's some grey that I can see
Tell me, grandma, have you ever been as young as me?

Can you imagine, grandson, Grandma, was as young as you?
I was a little baby too, not kidding you, grandson, it's true

I sure can't imagine you ever being a little baby. Another question...
Grandma, way back when you were young and you went outside to play
Did the sun come out; did it brighten up your day?

The sun and the moon and the stars; the sky and the clouds that you see
They were all the same and they were all right there for me

Oh, yeah, grandma, when you were little, did you have a lap top; did you have a color TV?
Got me there, grandson, TV was black and white; no computers in my house

I must live a mile, sometimes, you walk all the way to my house and back home, all alone
My friend said; he didn't know old people could walk that far, how do you do it?

Well, Ryan, if we're in good health; old people like me can do lots of things
walking and exercise are very good for my old bones.

And, grandma, if I count by ones, it takes a long time to count to your age
Just wondering, how did you get to be so old? Still hard to believe you were once young like me.

Well, it's like this, grandson, by the grace of God, I kept waking up every morning
Many years went by; and I became the old granny that you now see

Come Monday morning, March 31st, on that date
I will be waking up to a wonderful ripe old age of sixty eight

Grandma, that's Old! You can sure do a lot of things for an old person. And you're still a lot of fun.

AC, I will be 68 years old on march 31
I've been married for 42 years
I'm the proud mother of five; 3 boys and 2 girls; all grown-up
I have nine grandchildren
8 year old Ryan is the youngest.
The oldest is a 21 years old young man
I have 5 granddaughters and 4 grandsons
and they all live within 5 miles of my house,
except the four that live with me; I was their
grandmother and legal guardian since 1993
