A Grandmother Remembering



Where have all the moments gone, 
As fresh as a summer breeze!
That kissed newborn, fresh, emerald 
leavees on Chicago’s trees.

Whatever became of my expansive,
Blond desk, that smelled of fresh wood?
Or, my white and black saddle shoes?   
I’d wear them, ah, if only I could!

What about all my fun and convivial high
School fun, and class of friends?
I imagine them all, now grandmas on
Family-blessed, weekends!

What great satisfaction, to know that this,
My beautiful, bright, and so blessed progeny,
Will carry me with then in spirit and 
Humble works, rest with them, so poetically!
