7 years ago today, my world dimmed a little when my Grandma died. I visited with her nearly every day, drinking tea, chatting about anything and everything. Sometimes I would stay long enough to watch her “programs” with her, like the Bold and the Beautiful or Ellen. There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think of her but I am so grateful to have so many wonderful memories. I decided to post one of my poems from my soon to be published poetry book in today’s post, the one I wrote about her.
She would drink coffee
And I would drink tea
We enjoyed spending time
Sometimes hours, her, and me
Whether telling old stories
Or discussing what’s new
My time spent with Grandma
Brought me joy, through and through
She was thoughtful and funny
And her jokes were the best
She could bake like no other,
Oh, how we were blessed
Not a single day passes
When I don’t wish to be
Spending more time with Grandma
Drinking coffee and tea
