GRANDMOTHER
Grand elegance shields pain.
Reading me stories, I fall asleep in her lap.
Another visit filled with memories.
National fame for this painter, No way!
Disease plagued, she shows no sign.
Many beloved and beloved alike.
Over done cookies, ruined? No, Yum!
Tasks at hand, done quietly.
Hugs and Kisses all around.
Earthly mortal, fading light, Newborn Angel, Heavens delight.
Rest in peace.
(Dedicated to my Grandma Mary Lou who died in 1999)
