Gift from the grandma
Her paint smocks on the clothesline
reminds her of her grandma;
she always loved the colorful bedsheets,
esp. ones with pink and yellow combination;
she said, they not only did cuddle me,
spring coziness, but lead me to the dream of
the life, with my late husband,
bitter and sweet; rough and gentle.
When her grandma passed on she gathered
all her bedsheets, turned them to the smocks;
lovely paint smocks for her.
In the smocks she is confident;
learn the art of her grandma’s good life;
her paint brush dances on the canvas;
she flies higher.

I love this. It reminds me of my dear Grandma and my Aunt Dot, the artist, who taught us the joy of color and the arts.

Thank you so much for sharing about your grandma. Mine passed away when I was very young, and I have no memory of her, except the stories told about her.
