My grandmother fought with all of her will

She tried to always please and never fail

Here you will read of her complete effort

A powerful story, a moving tale

Drowned in her heartache and sometimes abuse

Still she stood strong as her husband did yell

She had to protect not only herself

For her children were victims as well

They could never tell of the man he was

He stalked them like prey to keep them silent

Although they did everything that he asked

He still grabbed their hair and acted violent

The day came when he was done with it all

He could not shield the anger anymore

He led them out with gun in hand

The emotions had broke through the core

Unknown to him, someone was following

Someone close to his wife, a second love

He was there to protect her from him

To show he had already done enough

George, this man, was completely in love

He’d keep her alive with all of his might

She was everything and more to him

And he wouldn’t go down without a fight

Her husband, still, would stop at nothing

Even if it meant to take out them all

He rose the gun and pulled the trigger

And to the ground George began to fall

Scared and confused the criminal ran

Evalyn fell down, helping her friend

Later they’d learn that George would be fine

And finally win her in the end

After forty-three years of marriage

They’re still so in love as the days go by

Then and now, they will forever be

Together one, always side by side
