Tuesday

For Grandpa

Grandpa sits,
Waiting, waiting in fear
Alone.
Unaware of his surroundings,
Nothing recognizable,
Fearful.
He smiles; a familiar face,
A grandchild, gently touches,
Stroking
Carefully from the heart.
Patiently calming him,
Lovingly,
Until he's at peace.

Carol ... I may not get here every day but every time I do come, your words are such a comfort. I love the imagery of nature that permeates much of your writing. God speaks to me through nature and so He uses your words to speak to my heart.

Thank you ... and blessings.
