My hands smell of soil
I buried a part of my life
Memories of both love and strife
I buried a part of my soul.
Expected or not
Grandma's home cannot
Any guests admit
As in the yard there is not
A shade to sit,
Or a tree with fruit to eat
And there are no flowers to pick!
The trip is over and I'm back
Tired and still unable
To rest for tommorrow's toil;
My hands smell of soil.
A lovely poem that is loaded with love and loss!
