By Stanley Collymore
You are my mentor, have always been my staunchest
protector and throughout my life were always there
to help me whenever I had a seemingly insoluble
problem, whether it was my own or someone
else's doing, that I hadn't the slightest clue
how to go about satisfactorily solving; yet
you always in such circumstances quite
undauntedly and with an indomitable
encouragement calmly, consolingly
and appreciably encouragingly as
was your customary wont stepped in and with
your knowledgeable expertise consummate
wisdom and in your typically enlightened
fashion tenderly and most pragmatically
placed before me the realistic options
opened to me while astutely leaving
me with the concluding decision as
fully mine to make, but whatever
that was I honestly knew would
confidently be assisted as ever
by your intrinsic and concrete
guarantee, itself perceptively
and devotedly supportive of
me! Honestly an inimitable
woman that's what I freely
reckon, and candidly how
providential and entirely
absolutely rewarding to
know you're my Gran!
