To Nana: Our Beautiful Matriarch Her cookie jar Her warm embrace The smile she carried on her face Her house, not just a place with walls but a home...she welcomed all Her homemade scarves and hats and gloves Each stitch infused with her love Her voice, her singing, music so fair The sounds of piano filling the air Her love of plants, she made things grow both in the ground and in peoples souls. Her strength, her courage her unbending will She never gave up, it inspires me still. Each memory I hold so dear, you were my stability, always there Never homeless, because I knew, you were there to see me through You taught me how to cook and bake, let me watch and get in your way All while wearing your high heels, always to me a big deal. Your bird feeders, through the window you would look Not letting those squirrels be the wanton crooks Your love of books and conversation. Your wisdom and compassion, was there for the taken Holidays, Christmas trees, grandchildren sitting on your knees warmth and love and yummy smells... all a part of the legacy you tell I love you, I will miss you, you are loved by all. A legend...A lady... A queen.... MY NANA ....Our beautiful Matriarch!!! By Sheri Brooks
