Notes About The Poem

Choose a line contest...Sponsored by: Joseph May

She reassured me with an unfamiliar line

Grandma, only you can make me feel all right.
Only you, when you hug me so tight.
Your smile makes the moon shine bright.
Only you can light the darkest night.

"She reassured me with an unfamiliar line"
That sweet, sweet Granddaughter of mine.
Now I am old and frail and insecure.
No longer the person I was before.

Her words '' I will adore you,
Til all the trees turn blue,
Until rain falls upward, back to the sky,
And we are together, you and I.''
