My Old Gran

When you hit life’s low
in deep confusion
of which it seemed no end,
I recall you thanking God
for one’s family also I
your grandson a very good friend.
Whilst your body racked with pain
torment you could not hide
an instance of loving charms,
when from your heart
a welcome sincere
within ever open arms.

This posting especially moves me as my grandmother's unconditional love brought me joy till I lost her at age 12. I included a tribute to my grandmother on my PS page. There is so much that's lasting + stellar about grandmothers. Be well. Brian

Very moving dedication to your "gran," Harry. It is good that you could be there for gran during the pain. When we are at our lowest points, God is always there for us. Love, Carolyn
