Quintile Apr 21

So sad
full of care
the face of nan,
life,lines her beauty
so fair-
this girl
full of care,
this face of love
'cross memmory's chasm
I stare,
so sad-
youthfulness
we could not share
apart by kin's time-line
divide

"Dedicated to all Grand-mothers everywhere

Love “life,lines her beauty.” When I was a childcare provider my hands, at the end of day, would be terribly cracked and dried. It bothered my son but my daughter saw it with love…found a beautiful poem about “mom’s hands.
