Poems for Grandmothers

A grandmother's job never ends. Many grandmothers in our society step in to raise children when their mother is unavailable. Even in the best of situations, having a grandmother to help with child raising and to provide a softer touch is often a welcome intrusion. The other side of the issue is that grandmothers have to realize when it is time to step back and keep their mouths shut. If there is a healthy father and mother, they are the ones with the final say in how to raise their children.

Inside: Top Grandma poems to show her your true feelings

It can be so hard to articulate how exactly you feel about a loved one. I know this struggle well. That is why I have such a love for poetry! There is truly no other medium on the planet that can convey a feeling in such a precise way.

My grandma has been on my mind lately, and I so I started reading some of my favorite Grandma Poems to help me get in touch with my feelings. I wanted to share them with you today because I was left feeling such an immense sense of gratitude for the woman that helped raise me.

Below you see that there are a vast sea of people on this earth that love their grandparents dearly. These can be used as inspiration for your own poem, to put into cards, or whatever way you feel would best convey the message to your Grandma! She’s going to love these.

Grandma Poems

Some of my best memories were spent with my grandmother. She was truly one of the most loving people I know, and I am so lucky to be related to her. Okay, before I get to sappy…I will let you start to read these amazing grandma poems! There are plenty of different styles to go through, from single line poems to long ones!

1. Grandmother

She’s the one you see, at all my birthday parties, and school plays, It’s oh so reassuring to know, her smiles are just for me, The darkest night brightens, the moment I hear her voice, And rainy days become adventures when she joins in the play, My grandmother is so special, No one can ever take her place, My heart is filled with love each time I see her face.

2. She Knows

My grandmother knows everything about me sometimes before they happen, She has a sixth sense about most things in life, She knows how to kiss my cheek, or dry my tears, whenever I am hurt or afraid, She bakes all kinds of yummy food and can even make a snowman, too, In summertime, she teaches me to swim and how to catch a fish, But best of all, she knows how to be the best grandmother in the world to me.

3. For Grandma

i heard your voice this morning speaking from the foot of the bed your quilt crawled to the floor as i lay down in the first whisper of dawn. i heard your voice this morning the sound of cloth a casual sound a sunday morning preparing to visit your lord sound half your life half my life half my daughter’s life we all dream of landscapes romantic deserts white sands connecting us together a half dozen roses i play out my life listening every morning for your voice at the foot of the bed.

– Jaki Shelton

Warm Cookies, Tight Hugs

5. Nana’s Little Angel

I have had the best time of my life with you, I think I am amongst the chosen few, To have a lovely grandma like you, You are too sweet is all I can say, In my life, you have an important role to play, Thanks, grandma, I love you a lot, You are always in my thoughts!

6. A Grandma’s Heart

A grandma’s heart is filled with love, And gratitude to God above. She thanks the Lord for her family tree, And all the blessings she can see.

7. I Love You, Grandma

Who has the tenderness of a mother? Who has the wisdom of a school teacher? Who has the tricks of a magician? Who has the ability to see the world through a child’s eye? Who has the stories about Mum and Dad? Who has always loved no matter what I do? Who has the songs to sing me when I am blue? Of course, it’s my Grandma, And I love you, and you bless my life!

8. Sometimes

Sometimes, when I get tired

I think about my grandma

My Grandma, who always puts everyone first

with a smile on her face

and I continue on for her.

28. To A Grandmother

At six o’clock in the evening, The time for lullabies, My son lay on my mother’s lap With sleepy, sleepy eyes! (O drowsy little manny boy, With sleepy, sleepy eyes!)

I heard her sing, and rock him, And the creak of the swaying chair, And the old dear cadence of the words Came softly down the stair.

And all the years had vanished, All folly, greed, and stain– The old, old song, the creaking chair, The dearest arms again! (O lucky little manny boy, To feel those arms again!)

– Christopher Morley

29. To The Grandmothers

Chornobyl, thirty years later

Old women with side gardens and jars of moonshine alone in empty villages,

tell me, solitary lynx, multitudinous wolf pack, how do you do it – all my life I’ve lived

in cities, bought food from grocery stores – what’s it like to return to the abandoned zone

on foot, reclaim your cottage beside the dank canal, to howl, to hunt in packs, to foal calves,

fell trees, light down in the bodies of swans and swim in cooling ponds, why would you

fly three thousand miles to build a nest inside the cracked concrete sarcophagus

over the remains of reactor four? She grins, hands over a jelly jar of vodka, the good stuff,

-Marsha De La O

Grandma Poems She Deserves to Hear

I don’t think we tell the people we love how we feel often enough. Life is too short to not express how we feel! Though it may feel silly, I urge you to read one of these grandma poems out loud to your Grandma next time you see her.

30. My Grandmas Song

When I was small,

and my grandma was tall

she would sing me a song

I’ve never forgotten,

I know where she got it,

The words I know all.

I hear them now, and I think of you

what a gift, when a song

is given to you.

31. My Grandmother’s Heart

Soft like cotton candy, Caring like mother earth, Beautiful like a piece of art, Sweet like honey, Deep like faith, That was my grandmother’s heart.

-Lucio Munoz

32. Toot Toot

My grandmother makes the best PB &Js

The best cookies

The best soup.

The best everything.

That’s my horn I get to toot.

33. Starry Night

There is always a moment,

when I look up at the sky at night

and feel you looking back at me.

I miss you Grandma.

34. Time Changes You

I remember when I was young,

I used to be so shocked by how much my mom looked like my grandma

as if it were just a copy-paste.

I don’t see it as clearly now, as I did then

But I know they are one.

35. My Grandma

You are the basis of my favorite memories

You are who I think of when I am looking for comfort

I am so grateful that you are mine.

36. Great Grandma

There is no way that I am going to miss the look on Grandma’s face

When I tell her that I named our daughter after her.

After all, she will be strong. Kind. Funny.

I want her to be great like her Great Grandma.

37. I love you Grandma Poem

Baker of cookies,

Lover of children

I love you so.

38. Prideful Grandma

I have grandma fever,

I cannot wait

for my little to have a little

so for goodness sake…

make me a Grandma.

There are a few things in this world

That I hold dear.

My childhood blanket,

And my Grandma, Amir

43. Who Would Have Thought

I never thought that you would be mine

here while everything is suspended in time

I made your mom, and she made you

I am your Gramma Sue.

44. I Love You

There is no greater feeling than a Grandma’s love

45. My Future Self

I want to be a grandma one day

There is something so comforting about it

It’s like, once you reach that age

all fear and hate leave your heart

and you are left a beacon of happiness

46. Is It True

Is it true that one day you won’t be here?

I don’t want to believe it could be.

What kind of world would I be living in,

with you not right next to me?

47. I am Grateful

I am grateful that I got your wise years,

that I know this version of you.

You have learned many things,

felt many stings,

and they made you into

the person I know, love and cherish.

I love you, Grandma; please don’t perish.

Didn’t these Grandma Poems just make your heart swell? Sometimes it just takes a little bit of poetry to get your emotions flowing! I hope that you feel the same way I do; that grandmas are amazing.

Honestly, life is about cultivating the relationships we have to the best of our ability. Nothing improves a relationship more than communication. I think that is another reason why poetry means so much to me. It gives you a chance to really say what you are feeling.

There were so many amazing quotes on this list, but if you are looking for some that center around your community, then you must check out these inspiring poems about community!

  • Poems that Tenderly Capture the Essence of Grandma's House

There is something undeniably nostalgic and comforting about the memories we have of our grandma's house. It's a place where time seems to slow down, where laughter echoes through the halls, and where love is tangible in every nook and cranny. Countless poets have attempted to immortalize this special place in their verses, evoking the warmth and familiarity that only a grandma's house can offer. In this article, we will explore a few remarkable poems that beautifully encapsulate the essence of grandma's house.

"Grandma's House" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

"grandma's house" by charles ghigna, "in grandma's house" by maya angelou.

Grandma's House , a poignant poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, paints a vivid picture of the sanctuary that is a grandmother's home. With delicate imagery and heartfelt words, the poet transports us to the haven of love that resides within grandma's walls.

Verse 1: In my little old room at grandmother's house, With the lattice casement low, Where the sweet briar rose and the hollyhock Peeped in and seemed to grow.

Verse 2: There were books on a shelf, and a quaint old clock, And a kitten played with a string, And a bird in a cage sang the whole day long To the flowers of early spring.

Wilcox beautifully captures the small yet significant details that make grandma's house so enchanting. The presence of nature, the cozy room, and the timeless objects all come together to create an atmosphere of warmth and tranquility.

In his poem, "Grandma's House" , Charles Ghigna takes us on a journey of cherished memories and the love that permeates every corner of grandma's house. Through his words, Ghigna invites us to revisit the tender moments that shape our lives.

Verse 3: In Grandma's house, I'm the one who helps Her cookies rise and her apple pies, I'm the one who helps her beat her eggs And makes her laugh with my silly tries.

Verse 4: In Grandma's house, I'm the one who hears Her voice in the dark when I can't sleep, I'm the one who listens to her story About the secret hidden in her keep.

Ghigna's poem captures the special bond between a grandchild and their grandmother. The shared experiences, the laughter, and the love are all beautifully depicted, making us yearn for the warmth that only grandma's house can provide.

Maya Angelou, renowned for her evocative poetry, presents "In Grandma's House" as a tribute to the lasting impact of a grandmother's love. In this heartfelt poem, Angelou reminisces about the refuge her grandma's house provided during challenging times.

Verse 5: In Grandma's house, I learn to heal, From wounds unseen, from scars unknown, I find solace in her tender touch, And strength in the love she's always shown.

Verse 6: In Grandma's house, I find my voice, Her wisdom echoes in every word, She teaches me the power of grace, And reminds me that I am heard.

Angelou's poem resonates with those who have sought refuge in the embrace of their grandmother. Through her words, we come to appreciate the transformative power of a grandma's house and the profound influence it can have on our lives.

The poems discussed above are just a glimpse into the rich tapestry of emotions and memories that surround grandma's house. From Ella Wheeler Wilcox's delicate imagery to Charles Ghigna's celebration of the grandchild-grandmother bond and Maya Angelou's reflection on healing and strength, these poets beautifully capture the essence of this cherished place. These verses serve as a reminder that grandma's house is not merely a physical location but a sanctuary filled with love, wisdom, and timeless memories.
