Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Irish Grandma's Dream of Heaven

When I get to heaven it will be St. Patrick’s Day
There will be a lassie there playing a harp merry and gay.
She will be wearing Irish colors, and there will be corned beef.
When I finally die of this cancer, it will also be a big relief.

But don’t angels wear white or pastels? Her grandchild asked.
There will be cabbage and shepherd’s pie, and ale in a flask.
Grandma was in her own world now, dreaming of a better time.
When she could taste Irish soda bread without standing in line.
