Family Tapestry
Shared and woven into the family tapestry
the stories of our lives entwine,
Told and retold around holiday dinners and family reunions,
Grandmother, the centerpiece of our lives,
She's the thread that weaves us all together and holds us tight
with an endless strength of faith and love.
Cherished Moments
At times, grandmother seems like a mystical creature born of a fairy tale,
All knowing and wise, she sees into our daily lives,
A wizard at games,
A magician with meals,
A pied piper of children,
An animal Whisperer
and a Jill of all trades,
Whenever we're lost
she's the beacon of light that guides us all home, once more.
Special Touch
Grandmother, we appreciate you,
Because of you
each day is a little brighter,
The sun shines a little warmer,
Foods tastes better
and life is simply sweeter,
You bind us together with love and devotion,
This family you created with such tender loving care,
We want you to know how much you mean
to each and everyone of us,
And, especially that we cherish you
every moment of every day!
A Heartfelt Poem for Grandmother
We don't always take the time to say
the things we feel, Grandmother,
But these are a few that we want you to know
and hope that they are things we often show,
You are so special to our family, Grandmother,
You make us whole,
Your love is our cornerstone that keeps us grounded,
Your smile is a touchstone that gives us hope,
Your voice is the music that fills our hearts,
And, your wisdom keeps us from straying where we should not go,
We hope you know how special you are to us,
Our lives would be so incomplete without you here
to show us the meaning of love and devotion.
And, this is what we wanted to say,
We love you, Grandmother, forever and always.

What Happened to Grandma?
We open the door, but grandma's not here!
We miss her big smile, and call out her name
but are greeted with scents from the kitchen, instead,
Fresh cookies straight from the oven
a roast still cooking
and an apple pie cooling,
Our tummies rumble
as we run to the kitchen
but stop in our tracks
'cause Grandma is missing,
Through the kitchen window
we see
laundry flapping on the clothesline
chickens pecking in the yard
but, still there's no Grandma!
Her cats are mewing
and her puppy is whining,
The table is set, ready for dining,
But where in the world is Grandma?
She's not under the bed
or lounging instead,
She's not by the pond
or out waving her wand,
So, where did grandma go?
Does anyone know?
A horn from the road
draws us outside
and, out from a car steps our dear Grandma,
Holding a bag, waving goodbye
as her friend drives off in a puff of dust,
Grandma is home and we're all so relieved,
We scream her name and run to greet her,
Oh, so grateful that grandma is home.
