Strong, beautiful black woman, so peaceful and serene,
You deserve to live in Paradise and shown the finer things.
Life has dealt you plenty of cards, some winning, others bad,
And tides have brought in waves of memories: both happy and sad.
I hope you don't mind that I shared this poem with a Great Grandmother in our church, she has custody of her two great grandchildren, one of them is 8 and the other is just born 3 months...

She picks me up from a fall.
She yells at me when I color on the wall.
She tells me about God and encourages me to pray.
She holds me close and tells me everything's okay.

Grandmothers are the very best,
In many more ways than one.
They dance, they sing,
They laugh, they play.
There once was a woman
Who grew old with time.
She bore her life story
In the curve of her spine.
Oh Patricia, another lovely poem. I find all your poetry so relatable - it speaks to my heart. Please keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann
I find such a comfort
In my Granny's lap.
I snuggle and lie there
As I take my nap.
Buttons from the button box
Stringing them end to end
More precious in my memories
Than the most expensive gem.
