Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Bless Your Breath -

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
