~ An Hour With You~
Like an old movie stuck on rewind scenes from the past skip through my mind Sunday's at Nana's strong family ties Aunties 'n cousins full of surprise The aroma of coffee invited us in filled up our nostrils with sweetest of grins Warmness and hugs were given each guest welcoming arms love at its best Still wearing her apron from goodies she baked loads of cookies 'n pies de'lish chocolate cake With snowy white hair bright twinkle in eyes giggles 'n laughter her natural high Children and elders all gathered within Sunday's were special at Nana's with kin Wall to wall chatter as stories were told olden day mem'ries cherished like gold Manners, respect a rule in her home love and kindness on every face shown She was of free spirit each day of the year enriched us with blessings and blankets of cheer Those were the days so sad they are gone but buried inside me to forever live on Can still taste the pastry 'n feel Nana's hugs like quilts in the winter enwrap me with love Shoe boxes of photo's now tattered and grey still nourish my spirit bring back yesterday's © Rose Marie Streeter August, 2006 E-mail Website Dedicated to my Husband's Grandma who loved me and took me under her wing as if I were her own since I was around 14 years old. To me, she'll always be my Nana and her heart prints will remain forevermore.
