Sarah

Sarah's nose wrinkled 
with that inner laughter; 
the kind that left 
a crooked smirk 
on her face. 

Her hair was white, 
Her eyes were blue 
And she was dressed 
All in lace

She sat in her beloved rocking chair 
that creaked and creaked and creaked 
Every time she sat in it
And in her hands were knitting needles and yarn 

On the floor ready to attack her yarn at any moment 
Was Tabby, Sarah's beloved cat

And beside her sat a letter from her grandson
Who lived out in Toronto 
He was 10 and loved to write to his grandmother 
And tell her everything that he was up to 

The letters always made Sarah laugh
And brought a smirk 
To her face
