Dorothy Gibbons Poet Acrostic

My Grandmother

M emories  of you last forever
Y ou were very close to me 

G ran you have journeyed with me through life
R obins  come sing in my garden, like your  still singing to me
A nd how I still smell the aroma of your coffee buns cooking
N ever a cross word we ever had 
D evoted to one another through the journey of life
M y strong tower you always were
O h yes, I came threw so many hurts, your love soothed my soul
T he love you showered on me lasts a lifetime
H eavenly  shores I'll meet  you there one day
E very memory of you I could write a volume of books
R emembering your godly example you left for me

Anne-Lise Andresen September 10, 2026 at 11:01 AM - Sounds like a loving grandmother who was always there when you needed her...her warmth and love will never be forgotten, Dorothy :) - Lovely poem :) - I didn't have grandparents like that... - hugs Dorothy Gibbons September 11, 2026 at 1:04 AM Hi Anne-Lise so sad you didn't have the close love of your grandparents 😢 💔 I guess I was blessed I was closer to my grandparents than my parents spent alot of time staying with them. I called them gran and papa. My uncle Ian lived with them he wrote poetry for everyone he had severe learning difficulties but in these times was all classed as mental health. Put in mental asylums which was awful injustice. I found alot of his poems and had a cry reading them. One he wrote me thanking me for going for grans shopping in the snow so tender I sobbed 😭 hugzzz ✍️🫂🦋💕💋

Andrea Dietrich June 1, 2026 at 8:50 PM I wish I had been this close with my grandmother's. I think my relationships with three of my grandkids is much more open than I had with my maternal grandma. I kind of act like a child myself so it's easier to relate to my grandkids. My grandparents were staid and old fashioned. Maybe was the times I grew up in. Nicely done here. Dorothy Gibbons June 22, 2026 at 7:58 AM Thank you Andrea your grandkids must love your youthful nature. I'm a child at heart my late step dad used to call me a recycled teenager. Stay young at heart I am hugs x
