Kindred Souls

A poem for Gramma

Taffeta and silk,
Slippers softer than pink.
Baby daisies on Mother’s Day,
Summer’s warm, beautiful light.
Soon, everything will be all right.

Porcelain unicorns,
The nutcracker ballet.
A convertible with its top down,
Can’t you feel the soft breeze?
Soon, it’s whatever you please.

A Victoria Lynn dolly,
Blue Bird orange juice in cans.
Silent Night playing on a violin,
The most touching music plays.
Soon, it’s all wonderful days.

Henry and a swing set,
Your preemie in Cabbage Patch.
Holding the babies of your babies.
Papa reaches his hand out to dance.
Soon, you’ll get the chance.

Bed Knobs and Broomsticks,
Paper dolls with paper clothes.
Charm bracelets linking me to you,
Oh, the love we’ll forever share.
Soon, we’ll be together there.

     In my heart for always,
     Every day and everywhere.
