it's your spring birthday
i think of you every day
and remember you
your silver bracelet never
leaves my wrist ma chere grandmere
talented lady
i still have your crochet work
cut glass and tea cups
how fortunate was i to
have you in my life-thank you
not allowed to touch
these precious things as a child
always on display
you were such an artist in
every conceivable way
In Our Lives
Respect for the Aged Day
This is so tender and exquisitely beautiful. Respect for elders tops it. Loved the words sprinkled with images. Thanks so much for sharing. Be well please. Xo, selmamartin

ReplyDeleteI truly wish I had all I had was my older siblings memories. I hope my grandsons have good memories of me as you do of yours 💜💜
