Grandma's Blankets

By Susan Y Nikitenko 2010

While Grandma's hands crocheted in grace;

Each blanket for her lovely ones.

She prayed the prayers that Grandmas do;

For family, friends, and all till done.

Each single stitch, She stitched in love;

She wrapped her gifts with fancy wrap.

With smile, she kissed each cheek that passed;

And hugged each one upon her lap.

And while each child tore paper way;

She'd smile a smile that shined to say;

I love you dears, you are my joy.

The blankets then became their play.

Bobby hid beneath the red one;

And Kristin Hid beneath the blue.

And cuddled sweetly with her doll;

Was the littlest one named Sue.

When bedtime came they all were tucked;

And faithfully each child obeyed.

Curled up in blankets stitched with love;

Each child took turns and sweetly prayed.

Grandma rocked, in her fav'rite chair;

With Bible stories on her knee.

And read to them, most ev'ry night;

And hugged and kissed them, faithfully.

A pretend story about love and prayer that has a true message. A message of faithfulness, faith and family.

In this poem Grandma lives with the family as a widow. She spends her time with the children teaching them valuable lessons and giving them memories that will last a lifetime. Let us not forget that choices do effect others no matter how old we get.
