Very nicely envisioned and presented. Best phraseology. I read the poem and enjoyed. The lines most I like are.....To find peace like an impossible test, My loving daughter Ivy and my son in law Dickie gave me a home They are the best, Tranquil years of living and loving, Thanks. .......10

Well done Hazel. You've breathed new life into your granmother's being. I felt that I knew the lady myself as I was reading this piece.

She undoubtedly had a hard life but she shared a mutual love with the members of her family, and that is priceless.
