Lost To Heaven My Grandmother

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it" Quote _ by E.E. Cummings Your touches, kisses, embraces; and each loving gesture; Your angel-filled, heaven-filled even phantom-filled stories; Your flavorful delicacies; thoughtfully-spun vesture; Your care when I was ill, more than my mother, for my ease... I competed, at your thrust, picking cashew-nuts and plums, Your encouragements made me successful in little works; Though I could find never a single tooth in your pink gums, There was a miraculous balm in your smile, with no smirks... Your dutifulness, compassion, warmth, affection and trust, Coolness in dealings; respect to all, full of innocence; Never feeling bored, as with everything you could adjust; Optimism and other virtues have become my essence... Rest In Peace, O Grandma, at the hands of eternity, Until we meet again in heavenly fraternity...! 10 September 2022 Writing Challenge- In My Heart- S Forms - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Theme: Lost to Heaven - Grandmother
