Elegy For Grandma

Your spirit flew to life beyond the vail. Those aged bones were what you left behind. Though love remained with memory and tale. A royal heart like yours is hard to find. Ó November 16, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen

I see that you were blessed by having such a grandma in your life. Tony

Yes, I was blessed with 2 wonderful, but very different, grandma's. This fits them both. Thank you so very much for reading my poetry and commenting. I appreciate you. I have really enjoyed these few days that I have had the opportunity to write and read some poetry here on the soup. It’s great to be able to do so and hopefully, it will continue. But…life is about to be hectic once again…soon. I send my love. Sincerely, Dane Ann
