Poetry help! i'm really stuck Options

[mikazukix]

I have to write a poem reflecting on my grandma or my memories of her for her birthday event thing. I know it's kinda of a personal thing but she's just like any grandma kind and friendly, loving u know te usual.Anyways my job is to make a poem. It's kind of a formal thing so it can't be humourous.( well i don;t think it'll be very good if it was) I going to try to go with a rhyming scheme. Also.. i want to it sound professional but not too professional but then again i don't want it to sound like a little kid could write sumthing way better than me. The first line is the most important right? So i've been like stuck thinking for one.. that isn't so sappy or just weird. So.. can anyone help me out to what the first line might be? or maybe give me ideas of what it should be like ?
The best thing i can think of is something like "as time goes byI still remember all the times we've shared together" Bad right? It sounds kinda sappy. I've been stuck on this for like a month. seriously.. i wrote a couple poems but they all really really.. really.. suck. HOPe u can help out. I don't even know if anyone in createblog is into poetry. >.<

as time goes by, I still remember all the times we've shared
even though their just memories, i can never forget
though were both getting old, i would always care
living my life with you, how can i ever regret

I will always be here whenever your feeling down
ill make you laugh just to turn that frown around
your a very special person, i hold you dear
especially when i need that person to hold me near

do you remember when I was young you held me in your arms
from that moment I knew you would protect me from harm
if ever that day comes where life takes you away
i will still love you each and every day

got carried away but maybe something like this, will help boost your imagination, rhyming doesnt always have to be a poem but i found it easier for me ti rhyme.
