The Yarn

The yarn slips through fingers gracefully, gratefully, unformed realities arrive and meld with each twist. Minds remember hearts grandmothers teach grand children life from the start. Crochet hooks and yarn make squares , building blocks for blankets and pot holder. Building blocks of life.

The yarn slips through fingers gracefully, Elegant nostalgia, which is known to all latitudes. Deer life ... and another. The lost and comfort those who are no longer among us. ps Is it necessary, the river is divided into separate pieces (verses)?

Love this reminder that a legacy is left behind by grandmothers, grandfathers, aunties, uncles...and is interwoven with love and steadfast examples of character, grace, life lessons....and yes...those cozy afghans and potholders!! Lovely poem! :)~ Love, Carrie
