This was written by my brother in tribute to our maternal grandmother. It is an accurately true and vivid description of the angel on earth that she was!
In Grandma’s eyes is where I see
The happiest of memories
This woman who loved me so
Had the greatest heart to show
The caring, loving, little things
The pulling at your apron strings
Every need for your attention
Never felt like a distraction
You could stretch every penny far
Cupboards filled with mason jars
Hand-rolled dough to make a pie
Better than one could ever buy
Plain gingham dress of every day
A little Dutch in the words you say
Your laugh when something tickled
And those bread and butter pickles
Scrapple, pot pie, and apple butter
Kitchen skills like no other
The garden where you would kneel
Your strength put into every meal
Of grandkids, you would always boast
But I am sure it’s me you loved the most
You, the caring I always knew
I hope you know, I loved you too
I love this 💗 made my little heart soar! Your brother is very talented! I’ve not written poems for such a long time, then the other day I wrote one for my late nan bless her, I’m not happy with it though and have since changed it hundreds of times lol I used to write her a few every year she liked them in her birthday cards etc. xxxx love you beautiful xxx
