Great Grandmother Poems - Poems about Great Grandmother

The sun rose gently, soft and warm, But the house feels quiet, missing her charm. Eid mornings filled with light and grace, Now hold echoes of her smiling face. She'd sit by the door, hands soft and old, A shawl wrapped tight against the cold. Her eyes would shine with joy anew, As we lined up, eager for what we knew. A crisp...

I am so blessed to have great-grandchildren. Four generations now upon our tree; three girls- age four, one and a half, nine weeks. How fortunate to have them now to see. But, something I did not expect to feel; my mind now dwelling on my last days when- if even blessed to live one hundred years- the three of them- just teenagers...

Lois stepped out of the cover of 1922 Go away! She told me. I am having a smoke. Her confidence permeated the room. She had her feet on the couch. With her shoes on. I was enthralled. Delighted. Wanted to be her. My mother had never told me about this woman. Lois was my great-grandmother, a roundabout, a floozy. A woman with means who did not...

The 80’s and 90’s she rocked Flawless piece of tender hope that always settled in her strong heart Trees she climbed, folk tales she told and the heart she won, Is the treasure she hinged onto us, Pretty, courageous with a golden heart lustrous soul NOW GONE, Leaving the violets’ withered, Innocent laughter and...

Ma, Leaping off the crown of a candle, A hot bead without hold or handle, Blobbed as us all on the bee-smell body of a star. Air, Shushing from the womb of her shell room, The leant lung's slow snore looping her loom, Muddled with the booze which bruised her peaceful as a pear. Hands, Holding normal knowings in knot-roots, Splaying through the spokes of...

She slipped into the house silently, but stealthily. We had no idea she was there Until we became knowing instant answers. We are all three in college, studying to be nurses. Words that were incredibly unrecognizable suddenly appeared In our vocabularies, and we knew things we should not know. I think my great grandmother is here, our housemate Vera...

My great-grandmother is sitting outside in the winter sun, with a double-felted deel, snow white hair, and a hat, just taking it in. I play at her feet, and I make a racket, running fast about, I raise dust in front of Great Mother, whom even the birds ignore. The quiet fire in her gentle soul was once very fierce they say but all I...

I kissed an angel's cheek today and watched her as she flew away. I couldn't hold back the tears I cried, as I said my last goodbyes. For never again would I be able to see that beautiful angel open her eyes and breathe. Now she's up at Heaven's gate, where her husband has been at wait. He kissed that...
