Analysis of Grandma Years Ago
I have laid my head,
Right by the window
Lying in my bed;
Grandma years ago.
Where grandma would pray
In her rocking chair,
Every single day,
Every single prayer.
With those beads that's why
In her rocking chair,
Forty-eight years I
Remember her there.
Prayer Divine Mercy,
Grandson is praying.
Grandma I can see,
Rosary praying.
