June's Blessing

June
                                           namesake
                                       her birth month
                                      my  grandmother 
                                            blessed

Hmmm I suppose that's why her parents called her June! A friend of mine, May, was born in May. A delightful Lanterne! Regards // paul

Maureen, is it true that your Grandmother was named June and born in the month of June? If true that us wonderful; but if it isn't this makes for a beautiful read. Thanks Maureen.

Sweet and sincere, M.M. Nice tribute to your grandmother in an unorthodox (lanterne) format. G.L. in the contest. Best wishes, Gershon
