My grandma died again last week
Memory of mother never known
She was a Mamma of the highest quality
Or so I’ve been told as I’ve grown

I look like a living likeness-
Mirror of a mom never met.
She was the best of mothers,
The best mother they could ever get

Pickling peaches and baking biscuits
Southern sweetness, baked in beauty
No longer here in person-
But living still in memory

Crochet blankets cover children
She never got to know,
So still she watches o’er
Her grandbabies as they grow

My grandma died again last week
But her legacy lives on:
The photos of my father
The biscuits made at dawn

My grandma died again last week
And this is what I know,
For as long as we are living, then,
So still her love shall show
Decided to get a little thoughtful with this one for day 17 of :iconnapowrimo:

This one is about my grandma, who passed away when my dad was a teen. I never got to know her, but from everything I hear she was an amazing lady who was and will always be loved and missed by my family. 

I thought of making a piece about her because the other night my mom made some biscuits that my dad said were "just like mom's", and it got me thinking.
