For Margaret Isobel French

For my great grandmother, Daisy

Who taught me what beauty is and how it is obtained 

Who taught me how to be strong 

And what’s right and wrong 

She was always the one I could look up to 

With her grace and generosity 

She was beautiful and fortunate 

And always so affectionate 

A living role model 

She has strength beyond compare 

And knows just when to quit 

She has a lot of wit 

Whenever I see her I am reminded 

Of the ways she saw life 

And the lessons she taught me 

In hopes that one day I could believe 

My beautiful great grandmother taught me so much 

And was my inspiration to keep going 

So I decided to write this rhyme 

For all the lessons she taught me in my time
