Grandma

The 80’s and 90’s she rocked 
Flawless piece of tender hope that always settled in her strong heart 
Trees she climbed, folk tales she told and the heart she won, 
Is the treasure she hinged onto us, 
Pretty, courageous with a golden heart lustrous soul 

NOW GONE, 
Leaving the violets’ withered,  
Innocent laughter and mesmerising songs  
in a void. 

But a smile she left. 
A vestige 
For me to discover and for her to shine brighter in the sky.
