Grandmothers Legacy
Raking back the leaves to dig
Roots that would soon become
Brilliant displays of vibrant hues
Creating music in the wind song
With flamboyant heads swaying
Dancing softly like generous hopes
Assorted dreams drifting gently
Picking cornfield beans, shades of
Olive mysteries, sent to bring richest
Wisdoms and warmth, miracles
Buried beneath the slow caress
Of a noon day sun who gives back
Flavor and fulfillment, faith in Him
Who holds the answers to a prayer
Blending flour, lard and milk together
Forming dough into portions that know
The scrumptious aroma of serenity
Soothing the senses with tender truths
Scraped from the bowl of inspiration
Thriving with the stir of desire, a fire
Passions aroused by the touch of thanks
Embracing the heart with assurance that
Feelings will survive the worst of life
Overcome the pain and chaos of disruptions
Flee anger, bitterness and resentment
To learn more about love and contentment
The precious joy that comes from knowing
A existence filled with love that is unconditional
Grandma’s legacy bequeathed me ambitions
Lessons in devotion, trust and commitment
Reminders that every dream is worthwhile
Each hope is a prayer that sings to heaven
With faith that real love leaves a footprint
Patterned after the finest treasures, inspiring
Visions brought about by God’s hand on me
