Granny

Odessa W. Connell
You never knew
But you were a source of strength  
My admiration for you knew no depth
So hard working
Faithful to God
My mind wanders back to your rose garden
Beautiful beyond words
The fragrance  
Intoxicating
You stood tall and proud
Divorcing, with six  offspring needing you
At  the time
Almost unheard of
Just over a year now
Since our heavenly father called you home
 Granny, I loved you
Now and then
May your sweet soul rest in peace
