turning cartwheels
in the school ground yard
mounds of fire ants
swarming
jumping rope double dutch
jacks played for one
hop scotch squares
creating
holding silverware in my hand
tarnished beauty still
i feel her love for me

My mother remembered her mother as being more of a friend than a mother. She believes this to be so because my grandmother was an only child and she longed for playmates. I guess having five children is one way to do that. I think of the games I played as a girl and that my grandmother sat and played some of those same games with my mom and aunt and then there is the silverware. I probably will never use it but just to open the box and look at it all and know how much it meant to her causes me to remember how much love she had.
