The Web Poetry Corner - Diane Klammer - Grand Mother

Grand Mother

by

Diane Klammer

for Rosalie

Death is a mystery shroud
Inevitable
We do not understand
Or fully accept
We wait
Through our lives
Endure to give them meaning

We dread when loved ones go
Puzzle as we try to bridge the gap
Into the hereafter
In prayer and in dreams

Grandma, you have not left us
As past mingles into present
You lovingly watch over us
You always did
Happiest when helping us be comfortable

Loved to the fullest
Gentle strength
Has been your trademark

Grand Mother

Those words are indeed fitting
All your children and their posterity
Know your dignity

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Bitter Wine
