Sitting at GraNDMOM'S kITCHEN TABLEA Poem by Lynn HiggsSitting at Grandmom’s Kitchen table
Learn lots sitting
next to my grandmother
Listening to her
stories of adventure
Watching as her eyes lit
up
Whenever someone was
revealing their better side
Hearing her voice
through the chaos
Knowing I was safe to
be me
Because she was
watching
Feeling her kindness
as a child
Washed over me like
an ocean wave
wiping the pain away
Waiting in between the Birthdays and summer
Just to be at the
kitchen table again
Knowing I was loved by someone
I was cared for by
someone
I was free to be me
Hearing the stories of her life
Seeing the love she displayed
Feeling the kindness
wrapped around my spirit
sat while she cook, comforted and loved her family
