DANCING IN MY HEART FOREVER
for Poetry Thursday the prompt was these 3 words "the body knows"
"Lula"
My grandmother's mother
Lula
had eight children
All are dead now
three in the last four months
one is still
living
the body knows
but
the heart does not

In the pic is my Grandma Garnet(she's the one wearing a turquoise sweater!) who passed away in November and my Aunt Zelma, her sister who was in the Nursing home sharing a room died this Tuesday. I imagine them dancing up there, because they sure did a lot of dancing here! I'll always remember them best dancing! I am so lucky to be raised around music! Now, I will have to be sure and call my sweet uncle who is left. Phew

Beautiful ladies Cinda. Yes, I'm sure they are dancing and kicking up their heals.
This is a very touching post. The loss of our beloved grandmothers is hard. My next to the last post on my blog was a poem I wrote to my grandmother. She loved spring and taught me many years ago to recognize it's significance through the appearance of daffodils.
First visit here, Cinda. Thanks for bringing me. Nice to meet you. Appreciated your post about your grandma and aunt...it's always good to hear of a loving family. Your art on your other blog is very kewl, too. I've bookmarked and I'll be back. Don't forget to call your uncle!!
Wonderful Poem! You are so talented!
This is sad as well as kind of happy poem. You know what I mean.

Your poem is so true because they are all together happy while a living heart breaks.
Yes I am sure they are dancing with the angels smiling and giggling ..may your heart be filled with warmth and gladness that they are at peace with one another.Peace be to you too.
A very lovely tribute to two ladies who meant so much to you.

This poem is just a simple beauty. Not flowery or showy. Just real and yearning.
I love the pics! And that she is wearing Turquoise!
I love this... very touching post!
I love how she is reaching over... and seems to be very open. This is where you get it from! :)
