Journal

In one corner of my ancestral home~
Placidly stood a comfy library,
There I saw a journal embossed in chrome
My grandma’s treasure, her dear diary.

There my grandma used to read me daily
The stories of her humble childhood days,
Written in that journal she kept dearly;
Which until now still fresh as new sun rays.

I assume that your grandma was a woman of great learning and a lady of admirable qualities ! I am sure you have inherited her gene ! A beautiful tribute to her !

Hello JCB ... you are very lucky to have a thoughtful grandmother. So much family is lost in the mists of time and future generations have no idea about this history - thank you JCB - Lindsay
