PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My grandmother carried her guitar with her to every place that she went. Since I remember, in every family meeting that we had, my grandmother used her guitar to play some songs and sing. She was in the choir of a church that is near to her house; In this choir, my grandmother, Rosa Elia, used to play, a beautiful, acoustic guitar to give music to the catholic songs that all the choir sang to the church. As far as I know, her Father taught her to play the guitar when she was between 10 and 12 years old. She wanted to learn how to play it because her Father used to play guitar in a small group and she always liked the way that he played, so she asked him to teach her to play it. When she was 26 years old, she used to go to the church every Sunday and sometimes, even between week days. After some time, she gets to know better to the church father and told him that she played the guitar in her free times, and in that time, they needed a guitarist for the choir of the church, so she decided to be part of it. I remember that I used to go with her sometimes to the church to see her sing and play with the other members of the choir. As I said before, in every family meeting she carries her guitar to sing and play with us; When I was little I didn’t like that, to be honest, I always dislike the moment when she used to play the guitar in the meetings. Also I didn’t know why she loved so much to be in the choir of the church, she told me some day that she wasn’t paid for that ‘job’, and I never understood why she was still in the choir. But now that I think, maybe that is what my grandmother loves to do, that is the way that she expresses her feelings and to feel relief of all her problems and stuff. Also I didn’t know why she loved so much to be in the choir of the church, she told me some day that she wasn’t paid for that ‘job’, and I never understood why she was still in the choir. She loved to play the guitar and also she loved to share with us her music, because even if she had problems or anything that made her sad, she always showed up with her guitar and with a big smile to every meeting.
