Grandma

I miss the scent of you in sweet cinnamon light and sunlight haloing your face; lines revealing truths of your life story; the stories whispered just for me, the walks we took laughing, songs endearing, I miss Too young to know the pain you suppressed deep inside; a grandmother's adulation doting on your grandchildren, as they play among your roses and sweet peas. you guided, blessed us with fervent passion, Too young

This poignant poem reveals so much about both of you -- and masks even more. Profound penning, M.L. Best wishes, Gershon

Thanks Gershon, she had a stroke when I was 5 and didn't live long after that. I still miss her.
