Grandma Poem by Afrooz Jafarinoor

Grandma

Rating: 5.0


My hands smell of soil
I buried a part of my life
Memories of both love and strife
I buried a part of my soul.

Expected or not
Grandma's home cannot
Any guests admit
As in the yard there is not
A shade to sit,
Or a tree with fruit to eat
And there are no flowers to pick!

The trip is over and I'm back
Tired and still unable
To rest for tommorrow's toil;
My hands smell of soil.

My hands smell of soil I buried a part of my life Memories of both love and strife I buried a part of my soul. Verily, a fine expression
