THIS ENTRY
is a tribute to my grandmother who passed away yesterday morning.
This is a poem that I wrote for her in February of 1988, nearly 13 full years ago.
I gave it to her on lined notebook paper. She framed it just as it was.
The pictures to the right are roses which grow in front of my house. I took these
last summer. There are nine pictures here which will change automatically. Please
allow the pictures to load in your browser. It may take a minute.

FLOWERS FOR MY GRANDMOTHER
- I wanted to bring you a rose, so red
- Because I see beauty in you
- I wanted to give you a daisy of joy
- For you helped to make my life happy
-
- I wanted to give you a violet, so bright
- To reflect the light of your eyes
- Or maybe a lily of delicate grace
- Befitting a lady like you
-
- I offer thankfulness and love
- Which ever blossom within
- My heart as never ending beds of color
- And boquettes of deep appreciation.
In loving memory of Anna Durnin, June 4, 1912 - January 9, 2001
