From Joan (Watler) Wilson

I know Mother’s Day has blown by and at my age 88 (plus) time is like a hurricane.

However, I had a lovely Mother’s Day and I hope you all did, too.

I was so very touched by presents and a poem from my gorgeous Granddaughter, Christina, who I hadn’t seen for a year, as she is studying at a University in England. She is on a break now before she returns.

The best present I had was this poem she wrote for me and after some thought I have posted it for you to share with all you mothers like me. I shall treasure this for ever. It touched my heart.

An Island Treasure

By Christina Jackson

My Grandma’s love is a special thing,

It’s warm and gentle like an evening on her backyard swing.

She spends her day with simple grace, on her Island by the sea,

A life that’s wild and free.

Friends from afar and wide adore her smile,

Her arms and fingers adorned with bangles and rings of gold,

She has a style that goes the extra mile.

As I treasure every hug, every kiss, and every hullo, I hold onto every memory so clearly,

Especially the ‘I love you’. It is always said so dearly.

MY GRANDMA IS MY TREASURE, AN ISLAND’S TREASURE.
