about

This is the story of a grandmother and the incredibly positive influence she had on the hundreds of people brought into the world through her. She lived the wisdom she spoke.

lyrics

Grandma had a good life
She lived to ninety-nine
Firm in her convictions
But always true and kind
Eighteen kids in a Catholic home
They rarely lost their way
Following what their mother had to say

CHORUS
She said, share and share alike
Speak no ill of others
Earn your keep, be mindful of your ways
Share and share alike
Love with your whole heart
Put family first until your dying day
Don’t be afraid, I’m here to stay

Grandma went to meet the Lord
On a brisk November eve
She was sick and old, but firm to hold
To the legacy she would leave
All the family came to say goodbye
And take the time to grieve
Her final words were written for all to heed

CHORUS
