"Now" she's eating her cheerios, one-by-one She sits in a three ring circle with her friends Warmth, she is, by the rays of the morning's sun Her hair in ponytails all curled with loose ends She sits in a three ring circle with her friends Grandmother's knitted blanket rests on the chair Her hair in ponytails all curled with loose ends Playing, real life, with her friends (two) "Teddy Bear" Grandmother's knitted blanket rests on the chair She made it for her granddaughter, years ago Playing, real life, with her friends (two) "Teddy Bear" Grandma's knitted blanket- one day...she will know She made it for her granddaughter, years ago Warmth, she is, by the rays of the morning's sun Grandma's knitted blanket- one day...she will know "Now" she's eating her cheerios, one-by-one ( Picture 3. ) Feelings Of Nostalgia Poetry Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper 6-17-2020

I love your heartwarming muse Charlie. It brought back memories from my childhood when I spent my evenings with her. Congratulations on your win for this beautiful muse. Blessings :)

Charles, you tickled me with this verse. I give my grandson that is only 20 months a little bowl of cheerios. He says Thank you and he takes it to my coffee table. He too will eat them one by one within an hour while he plays. Then I thought of my grandma that I loved dearly as I too own and cherish. She had put a lot of hours into making it. . Thank you for entering the contest. Congratulations on your win. Hugs Eve
