nothing could stop her

Every day she walked

Snow, rain, or shine

Cold, warm or hot

I waited for her at the front door

Every morning she would have that smell

I would watch from my kitchen window to see if i could see her

She always had a smiling face waiting for her

Every day she walked

for 16 years she did this

a mile down there and when she walked back

it was a mile back....

Every day she walked 

I loved to see her out there

legally blind and walking with a cane she walked

Stories she would tell of her adventure on the walk

Be it a little kid or a grown up

Every day she walked down....

To our house from 1993-2006 

My grandmother took on the world even if she was blind!
