grandma on the farm
wearing a checkerboard
apron
canning fruit
a life of cowboy
boots
blue jeans
and calloused hands
fighting for the
Promised Land
grandma on the farm
the old days
and the
old school ways
daddy was a miner
coal gravesites
mine shafts and
Kentucky blue
soils
water boats
and American flags
dogs that bark
and bacon n' eggs
for tired legs
apple jelly and
grape juice
grandma once
shot a Moose
wrinkled and weathered
hot dogs and mustard
grandma was a fight
died at 99
