Grandma
My hot tears fall
on the beautiful mahogany
of the box.
I run my hand lovingly
over its polished smooth surface,
as if still caressing her beautiful face.
She has always been there
- all my life-to nurture, spoil and scold.
She was a fragrant flower
with roots in a distant land,
But she brought lots of “Home “
with here when she came.
Sharing with us the beauty of her culture.
She was the sun in our days,
the comfort in our nights
and the strength for our future.
we now say goodbye to her
as her time on this earth is finished.
Only to fly to God’s arms
and receive her eternal reward,
of Joy and Happiness.
Jeanne:
I love your poem Grama. I could feel your love as I read
