    Poem Commentary

    To MiMi (Donna Parrish)

    Grandmother

     When I was a little girl you you watched after and cared for me
    and you always made my favorite dishes like your world famous
    lima beans

    When I was in my teens your wisdom and advice was
    much needed
    Even though it was appreciated a lot of it went
    unheeded

    When I was a young adult, your home was always open
    and I was very thankful because I was always roaming

    Now that I am a Grandmother too, failing is my
    greatest fear
    And I pray that I can be like you in my remaining years

    My love and respect for you will always be
    and you are still very wise in my view

    I hope that as my granddaughter grows
    She will love me as much as I love you

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
