Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Grandma

With the gentle
touch of  hand
She brought feelings
of peacefulness
Her smile lit up the
world 
Love radiated from
her heart
You found peace and
contentment
in her warm loving
arms
Compassion in her
smile
A gentleness of an
angel
in the midst of her
own suffering
In all her trials
her spirit was not
broken
It was God's
strength that
carried her through
The precious moments
spent with her
Brings loving
memories of my dear
grandma.

Lucilla Carrillo October 25, 2013 at 6:55 PM A beautiful tribute to your grandma. The people that get to know their grandmas are very lucky. I only knew one, but I was too young and my memories of her are not very good. thanks for sharing... Lucilla
