Thoughts of my Grandma

These things remind me of you.
Crocheting, watching children playing, organ hymns, 
Red rouge, roses of every hue, these things remind me of you. 
Pansies, molasses cookies, homemade strawberry jam, 
Towels blowing on the clothes line, Sunday school, fruit jello, 
Sewing too.... These things remind me of you. 
Christmas best, sweet peas, bright pink sunsets, 
A warm nights summer breeze, waiting on all of our needs... 
No one can take away my memories of these. 
Peach cobbler, pepper trees, poetry, sweet faced dolls, 
Crocheted rag rugs, what I'll miss most is your really tight hugs. 
Thank you for them all.
