I was blessed/with wonderful grandmothers/though we never met/gifted by one grandly motherly/friend/adopted and grafted/to each others hearts/taught to age with grace and love/to craft of life’s lonely hours/the grandest of friendships/like a never ending/always growing/profusion of blooming lilac/and oh/the stories were woven/over the slowest of meals/taught to treasure the fleeting time/we lingered in purest joy
