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
