A wonderful grandmother She smiled because she had lived Taught me about life and love Her silver hair revealed years she had seen Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren A long life of sunshine, joy, pain and tears Nothing came easy in her life Grandma's hands bent and swollen by arthritis Bless your breath from this life I can always see you in my memory (Dagny Johanna Gismervik - died 16/12/2002 - 89 years) 21.02.2016 A-L Andresen :)
