April 24 was her birthday
How I recall words she'd say

Telling me she wants a new purse
Or asking if I’m going to church

A tender heart with spirit of God
Watching her in favorite chair nodd

Salt and pepper fresh fish delish she’d fry 
Fresh peas and biscuits tea summertime 

Imprinted on my mind how she was meek
Kind wise witty homely in her ways peace

Never understood why she loved snuff
I guess addicted to that dirt looking stuff

She left words of wisdom like white pearls
Never again will there be in this crazy world 

A grandmother as loving as self sacrificing 
Bernice is her name she was truly a queen

Not in a boisterous blunt in your face way
But in imperfect beauty with duty who prays

Happy heavenly birthday Granny!


Premium MemberI Knew She Liked the Matching Pajamas

my cousin and her granddaughter have birthdays ten days apart
I try to send them something I think they can use
My cousin is ultra-thin, so I sent her red and black checked footie pajamas
I sent her ten-year-old granddaughter pajamas in the same material
They put them on, took a picture and sent it to me
Then Lennox, the granddaughter, drew a cartoon of them wearing them
She put that on my cousin’s birthday present from them
That’s when I knew she really liked dressing like her grandmother
I was touched to see that photo!

Premium Member Seems Like Yesterday Mystic

It seems like yesterday.
When you were to be our first born
We waited for your birth
Two brand new grandmothers that morn.

You took your time, but then we knew.
You had arrived safely and sound
We each held you our precious girl.
Our smiles and joy they knew no bound.

You are our great delight.
 We’ve watched you grow up through the years.
 A woman you’ve become.
 Our love shines brightly through our tears.

With tears of happiness 
Congratulations we both say!
Now Twenty-One, how can that be.
It seems like Yesterday.

Premium MemberHe's One-Year Old

A boy with a toy, a girl with a curl
  each more precious than a necklace of pearls
Birthday boy's face all covered with cake
  blew out the candle, then took a break

Mommy is hopping from kitchen to table
  Dad's helping too, as much as he's able
But grandma and grandpa are the stars of the show
  Playing 'Happy Birthday to You' on dueling banjos

Today my heart feels sorrow
Saying goodbye is hard to do
But I will cherish every moment 
The memories I have of you

It's been the hardest thing to lose you
You meant so much to me
But to Robert and Evan also
A Great Grandmother always to be

You will always be in my heart Nan.
And that's where youll always stay
I'm so honoured to have been your grand daughter
I count my blessings every day

I did not want to lose you
But you did not go alone
Because a part of me went with you
When heaven called you home

So just remember one thing
We are not apart
You're with me in my memories
And in my broken heart

Loving you always Nanna

Premium MemberCentennial Milestone

Born January eighth, nineteen thirteen
No champagne, no birthday cake
No celebration or even a banner
Only memories of a party
That might have been
January eighth, two thousand thirteen

Taken too soon
You would have reached a hundred
What your eyes have seen
All the progress you witnessed
For better or for worse
A century ago

Impossible for us
To even imagine
How times were different then
With so few fancy cars
Different priorities
And preoccupations
A different era
A different world

Happy hundredth to you
Cheers. Love you. Rest in peace
We’ve tried to move on without you
For better or for worse

No clinking champagne flutes
No blowing out birthday candles
Only impressions of a party

This reverent January eighth
Two thousand thirteen

Premium MemberA Nook and a Story Book

A Nook and a Story Book
  
    In my childhood on every birthday
    I owned two books owing to family norm,
    one tough academic book from my Dad
    and other lucid story book from grand mom.

   I was fascinated for gift from grandma
   That was my only entry to the story book.
   Strict Dad did not allow me to follow stories.
    To smell fragrance of story I searched for a nook.

   Nooks and corners were not safe enough.
   Dictator Dad had always strong vigilance.
   I had to hide story book under the text.
   None was able to detect my tact at a glance.
