Listen to poem:
Dear Grand-maman, You had such an impact in my life, especially in my formative years You taught me how to sew at the age of three, to knit then crochet You taught me how to read and write way before I went to school I was so lucky to have you as my grand-mother In your 20’s, you must have been the most wonderful teacher What I would give to have been a bird flying by your little house on the prairie style class window I want to tell you that you made me feel precious and though the family moved far away when I turned nine – that support stuck with me through the years I had a solid base of self-confidence and I believed in myself Of course, it would have been much better had we never moved It’s hard to imagine what my life might have been like if we had never moved so far from you I love you so much and miss you terribly I’m going to keep calling on you for inspiration because I know you‘re hovering as my guardian angel especially when I see sparrows or little pit pit’s as you called them I’d love to give you a big loving hug I love you and think of you always Forever in my heart, your adoring goddaughter xx AP: 3rd place 2022, 3rd place 2021, 3rd place 2021, 3rd place 2020 Posted on March 7, 2018

A wonderful heartfelt tribute to your loving grand lady, Line. Never knew my grandfathers ... they had died before my birth. Knew both of my grandmothers. Most can relate to this beautiful prose. Love and best memories always.
