I wrote this song for my 93 year grandmother :D It actually uses the chorus that I wrote for my other grandmother. Always a wonderful time to honor those who came before you.
Joyful Cry(Song for a Queen)
Sitting on your front porch swing
talking softly sipping sweet tea
Your ears always open even when your closed
so let me tell you one more time
before you go away
there's never enough to tell you though
Sure you're tired to think for so long
like a river flooding your land
life grows on and I understand
God only knows how long
you've known
I'm so sorry that it's time to go
but it's been a long good life
you've seen a lot of love from the people you know
but it's time to say goodbye
And When I think about it I can not lie
it's your memory that brings a joyful cry:)
Like a bird in a blueberry bush
scattering seeds all over creation
you spun that wheel a thousand times
till it landed on what's right
the price is never worth cost
but you were worth the price
Oh my lady my queen
you have cradled me
in arms that never let go
quite opinionated at times
thank God you shared your mind
now I know the things
I thought I might never know
