My Grandmother's Gift Poem by Sandra Martyres

My Grandmother's Gift

Rating: 5.0


These are the poems I have read over the years
They gave me solace and stilled my tears
When my faith in human kind was shaken
When my ego seemed completely broken

These are the poems that gave me self-confidence
When I was overtaken by a sense of diffidence
Restored my belief in myself
Helped me overcome my grief

These are the poems that reminded me
That relationships are just transitory
They are meant to be savoured as long as they last
And then consigned to memories of the past

These are poems I leave to you my child
Tattered and torn but carefully filed
Treasure them like I have, over the years
They will help you shake off your fears

Signed - Your loving Grandmother

Truly a beautiful gift from your sweet grandmother. I was left books of poems that my dad had as a child and read to my brother and me as we were growing up. They too are treasures. Lovely poem, Sandra. A '10! ' for sure. Warm Wishes, Marilyn
