Grandma
I think of you with love
And I smile
When I cook I remember
Your table filled with everyone's favorites
Quiet afternoons remind me of
Your home filled with unexpected guests
Immediately welcomed
I recall with fondness
Sunday afternoons at your house filled with
Family, friends, neighbors
Playing cards, eating, laughing
Your never idle hands
Inspired me to try new things
The way you listen without judging
The encouragement and kinds words you give so freely
Showed me how to care
Even today
When I wrap myself in the quilt
You made me
It feels like you're hugging me
And my heart fills with appreciation
That I have a grandma like you!
