Notes About The Poem

 

 

Grandmother



A grandmother- she is a mother blessed
     with life that comes from her times two.
          Her precious children pass on her genes 
               to new life via theirs with chosen mates. 
                    Again, she can cradle newborns with love,
                    assist to nourish and shape their growth;
               resurge the joys of motherhood, matured.
          Being close or far away, her faithful love,
     patience and generosity are special gifts
for dear grandkids- each one, a blessing.

Yes, Carolyn, I feel the same way. I loved my grandmother, and now I adore my five grandchildren (actually, seven, since two are married). A special bond for sure. I appreciate your love comment and best wishes for the contest. Hugs, Sandra

My Grandmother was my mentor and inspiration. She is always with me in spirit. Wonderful writing, Sandra. Good luck in the contest...although you won't need luck...this stands on its own.

Thank you so much, Elaine. Yes, my maternal grandmother was an angel. But now, I know the blessing from the other side, having been blessed with five grandchildren! Hugs, Sandra
