Loving Grandparents

Loving Grandparents I've seen more faces of parental love As a child I heard folk lore from grandma Often I lay calm in her elbow's cove Night pressed her feet swollen with oedema And in the noon we would hide in a room With a binoculars to watch the birds Collecting twigs for nesting babes in womb Grandma was fun and all requests were heard Grandpa moved around with his wailking stick We took care of him on his pious bed Didn't know he was dying thought him sick In the middle of night goodbye he said We hugged and cried at our world that collapsed. New homes we were flown to, our ties just snapped FOURTH October 29, 2015 Contest: In The Name Of Love Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton
