Snapshots

Fireflies and sparklers
running through the sprinklers
spending summer days
in Grandma's yard.

Homemade icecream
on the porch
creeking porch chair
back and forth.

Grandpa's boat
waiting outback
Grandma's hydrangeas
and birdbath.

Chincoteague
and Tom's Cove camping
going to the beach
or with Grandpa fishing.

Christmas Tree
with the pretty star
gifts underneath -
who are they for?

Spending precious
time together
making meomories
that last forever.

This is the heritage
she's left behind:
A strong sense of family
humor and wit -
love and pride.
