(In memory of my late grandmother - I am wearing the blue sweater she had given)


I cannot possibly describe exactly what it is -

Turquoise, azure, lapis or cerulean.

To me, it was beautiful, a simple blue sweater

That my grandmother had given.

After all these years, I can still feel her warmth

In those cosy, lovely, ragged out woolen yarns;

Wrapped me against cold, warm although old,

And nice as she used to be; I wish I could hold

Her once more - I lament in vain.

But that blue sweater consoles me; the one -

That my grandmother had given.


Now I'd like to take

A few more of your moments

Tell me if you've liked
