Stirrer Of The Pot ~*Marge Tindal*~ Grandma said that every pot needs someone to stir the ingredients put in, so it becomes the perfect blend She said that it's important that we all take special care of what we put together, that's going to be shared I studied at her apron strings, from the time that I was three to get the motion right that she patiently showed to me A little of the spirit of tending the magic brew she passed on to me so I could share with you You take a fair-sized slice of that spice that we call love Sprinkle it in heaping helpings right into the recipe Add a dollop of sincere honesty that settles in the kettle bubbling up in joy shared, when we show others we care A tiny pinch of tears, just for the salt they contain Gently stirred in the pot, so they aren't cried again Keep the fires of friendship, slowly embering Tossing in a precious dash of remembering Gently begin the process of stirring with the hand of love Noting just how it begins to feel with His blessings from above Friendship soup for many to scoop within their souls Feed the masses, for there's plenty that need a hand filled with love in sharing all across the land Thanks be to Grandmother for the gentle things she shared mostly for teaching me to give a smile for another to wear As this Holiday season approaches so quickly on us all SHARE - SHARE - SHARE the Friendship Soup with all~ *A special request of remember for Vicky~ Thank you dearest friend~ December 19, 2001 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Grandma's are sooooo special - I recall mine taking each and every grandchild for a vacation at her home for an entire week each summer - I love those memories of picking berries fresh out of the patch and putting them on my rice krispies... her cooking wasn't anything to write home about, though... and neither is my mother's... or mine, for that matter... ... but thanks for the grandma memories, my friend... |
