She's practical and caring With eraser in her hand And when she teaches poetry She's always in command Her blithe and shining spirit Is captured now and then In the oddest moments Like when she takes up paper, pen Her humor is a constant She writes with passion rare In her every action she shows us tender care she's soft and very placid and calls the chicks to roost making them quite orderly as she offers them a boost She never is outspoken That's simply not her way And yet she brings firm order To the passions' brood at play Her muse is esoteric Her pen is always full When she writes her managed language Provides a strong emotion's pull This is our Nan who mothers All under her wing Kind to all and fair to others For Nan's touch can make us sing Nan acts the part of brood mother Never pulling tight the reins Never hopes to dampen courage Always there to hear our strains Though Nan is not a peacock dear What would we do without her here. Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Sunshine, thanks for responding to my Nan tribute. Marge, well what's a home without the feeling of the nest. Warm, cosy and controlled. With Nan as brood mother how can we go wrong?

Sven, thank you so much for your kind words. Charisma, always a pleasure when you drop by. Balladeer, yes she is one heck of a human being. Athena4, thanks for stopping by to pay your tribute to Nan. She's something, yeah! Nan, you joke, but I used to raise chickens I know how hard it is to get the chicks moving in the right direction. I also know the self sacrifice a mother hen makes for the chicks. So don't you go telling me I wrote this because of how you look. I won't believe it! Besides I've never seen your forked tail. The skinny legs might be true, but if so it matches the rest of you. Be well Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |
