My Grandmother is:
a purple housecoat made of satin
lavender and cold cream
bobby pins, so her hair won't flatten
a hand like velvet on my cheek
My Grandmother is:
a gentle spirit, deep as a well
strength, wisdom, and love
worry when the baby robins fell
relief to find them safe above
My Grandmother is:
the beauty of lilacs in full bloom
Bingo cards and slot machines
trips to coffee in the afternoon
'Wheel of Fortune' every evening
My Grandmother is:
a farm girl who worked hard all her life
old Cadillacs and dollar stores
a friend, a mother, a loving wife
but a grandmother to her core
My Grandmother is:
all these things, and more...
