GRANDMOTHER By Michael Estabrook
 
loved Easter most,
the day the Lord rose
into Heaven.
She loved to sing
the Put On Your Easter Bonnet song
and saunter
over to Church
in the sun.
She learned the miracles
of Jesus and all
the books of the Bible
by heart.
Life was simpler,
so much simpler
back then
when Grandmother
was alive.

Bio: Well the 3 children are gone, out on their own, but the wife is still here and the stupid dog and the computer and email so I will write on, to what end I am not sure, but write on I will; still trying to get into the best poetry journals possible, both online and otherwise, and hoping to publish a full-length book of poems, called A Superlative Woman, about my superlative wife, one of these days.
