Remembrance for my last grandparent


In Remembrance of Grandma

In Remembrance of Grandma
(18 June 2006)

A manicured garden
of colored, cultured roses
now goes untended.
For Marguerite has been freed
of all mortal constraint;
left behind
is a silver trowel
and dancing shoes,
as her spirit flies
to the Hawaiian shore
for pirouetting barefoot
on the seashell sand.

Goodbye Grandma Massa; I miss you already.

This is incredibly touching. You say so much about your grandma with such little description yet I feel her energy. I love the ending.
