Grandma's Bench

Each day her world was getting smaller But still to this bench she made her way To enjoy the park, the pond, and the ducks and watch young children that came to play Her bench became a gathering place Life stories told and babies kissed They all enjoyed her wise company Her sweet face will sorely be missed. They still gather at that bench And daily life goes on as before But they still remember "grandma" A lady they had come to adore...

This gave me inspiration.....! I haven't written a bench poem.......but you reminded me that the little cobbler's bench (presently in a corner of my kitchen) was my Grandma's....it has a lift seat storage area....and she kept toys for me at her house when I was a little girl. Your poem took my mind back to then! :)
