Generations

[JitterbugPerfume]

I can recall

seeing my great grandmother

Isabella

just one time

Lying in an iron bed

her face

tired and care worn

her hair

whispy and white


I was a child

and she was ancient

What had I to do with her?

I have an old
and faded picture

of my mother

eight years old

It looks just like my daughter

who looks just like me

1. I like it...!!

This poem seems to be filled with love and longing; A need to re-connect with those before us...

2. thank you

I am a great grandmother now

and as I roll around on the floor playing with my great grandchildren it amazes me---where DID the time go?


their mother , my Amy said

"but you have always been a great grandma, granny"

sigh

she always knows just what to say
