Back with Grandma No place in the world I would rather be then standing back in time at my grandmother's knee In fields of green and apple trees grandma's farm house was tucked in between neatly as can be Ten acres of country side where deer loped and raccoons sneaked the fresh spring water gurgling sweet rubber boots we'd wear and hike to the top of hill and watch wheat gently blowing, such a sight lavender lilacs dwelled near the golden daffodils - orange poppies smiled at the gnarly pear trees grass stains became part of our knees sniffing sea air floating through the air picking cherries off the cherry trees watching grasshoppers making great hops finding tree frogs on the side of the pond grandma's is where my heart has always belonged Though I live on five acres at this time the air here smells of roses and evergreen my favorite nature spot stays in my mind For peace and tranquility where only nature talks sits gently in my memories of childhood to grandma's acreage, where she used to walk ~netswan www.tipsfortop.com/net-marketers.html Teresa King Writer and Net-marketer [This message has been edited by netswan (edited 06-02-2000).] |

I just love this peom. It's very touching and so peaceful. I never really got to know my grandparents but I've always loved nature and the country side. I've always wanted to live there and now I do. One day I'll get a place that has as many acres as your grandma's place with a stream but that's all in the futur. A heart warming poem. Just beautiful.  Kat |

Thank you Kit and Kat - gosh you two should take up the poetry challenge of writing a poem togehter, both of you have similar thoughts and style from what I have I read of each of your poems. Search each other -- have fun. Thanks again. Sorry Kat about no grandparents. My boys had only one grandmother and she is my mom - a nice grandma but not the warm huggy type like her mother was --) OH Gosh Darn, speaking of grandmas, I have my first grandbaby due in about 2 weeks, or less -- I am falling over in excitement!!! |

Thank you netswan...I could picture this, smell it and feel it all. Made me feel nostalgic and miss the country....made me yearn for memories of a gramma I didn't have...But my Grandpa was so dear. Thanks a lot for the sweet read. You did great! MBlue |
