GRANDMOTHER

GRANDMOTHER

(Sharon D. Corbett)

Have you ever noticed what grandmothers are like?

They seem to always be there when you think you are hidden.

They seem to know what you are thinking before you’ve spoken.

Some how they seem to know your heart is going to ache

While you think, you’re fine and your heart could never break.

Has she ever slipped you money, just when you were sure, you had enough?

Could it be that she might have need of a helping hand?

Have you ever looked at your grandmother’s eyes?

Did you feel they were seeing deep inside you?

Did you take time to look into hers?

No one seems to see the loneliness she is able to hide.

Are her hugs important to you, which melt your troubles away?

Have you taken time to hug your grandmother today?

Could she have pain that your hug would drive away?.

Remember the parties and dinners grandmother made?

She always wanted to make you feel important and loved.

There were clothes, quilts, crafts and special deserts she made.

Each item was designed just for you, often with your name.

Have you taken time to know what memories she is having –

Her losses…pains…sadness…loneliness…feeling unloved…?

Could she have painful memories your love would melt away?

Grandmothers are very special people.

They spend their time helping and giving to others.

There are many kinds of grandmothers, but a real one LOVES!!!

A real grandmother GIVES…SHARES…CARES!!!

You have been the receiver of all her love.

What memory have you recently made with your grandmother?

Could she be made special by your love and care which costs only yourself and time?
