Six Little Spoons
Six little silver spoons that hide
Among the remnants of my mother’s tide…
Saved carefully and loved so well
I polish them and try to quell
Incursion of the time’s elapse.
A portrait hanging on my wall.
My Gran, so lovely and quite small,
A graduate from her own school,
Her joy and pride a lasting jewel.
Sweet memories of her and me
And here I am and here I cry.
Oh, Gran, I am so glad for time
We spent together, you and I.
You blessed my life, my mind, my goals
With grace and beauty, life’s fine gems.
Melodic memories treasured now
I’ll not forget, I’m sure you knew.
