Emma

Rocking through the night,wizened cheeks so dear.
Cupping my face in her hands.
Beautiful grandma.

Loving her filled up my lonely childhood.
Emma made the stars shine bright.
Her love was immense.


for "Emma " contest
My grandma's name really was Emma ...

My grandmother's name was "Emily", which is close to Emma. Short, but very sweet write.
