Here is a poem I wrote not long ago called

Grandchild

A letter from a Grandchild
means so very much
It makes a Grandma's day
seem brighter she can feel the long distance touch

You may not know what it means
in your everyday life to write a note to Grandma
as she reaches for her shaw
she smiles and sits in her rocking chair
she knows your really care

She sits and wait for the mailman
she knows a letter is on its way
she sits and reads about your life
how happy you are today

Tears of happiness stream down her face
she places your letter in her notecase
all the letters are placed nice and neat
your letters to her are a special treat

A letter from a Grandchild
to Grandma is a way
she knows you love and think of her every day

Grandma is old and getting grey
her life gets shorter by the day
she has the memories of you that no one can erase
she keeps the memories of your smiling face
