My Grandma


My Grandma is loving
She shows me the way
She helps my mother in many ways
She shows unconditional love
She is wise in so many ways
I just hope in my life
I will be as good loving
understanding & wise as she has
always been.
Thats how she shows me the way.

While walking along a beach,
a man saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.
As he came close, he saw thousands of starfish the tide had thrown onto the beach.
Unable to return to life to the ocean during low tide, the starfish were dying.
He observed a young man picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the water.
After watching the seemingly futile effort, the observer said, "There must be thousands of starfish on this beach it would be impossible for you to get all of them. There are simply too many.
You can't possibly save enough to make a difference."
The young Man smiled as he continued to pick up another starfish and toss it back into the ocean.
"It made a difference to that one" he replied
