In the blush of a young child’s cheek,
And in the wrinkled smiling face
Of a kind old woman,
Hope is seen with no need to speak;
Good banishes evil, leaves no trace,
A journey to transcend;
Aged kind face, youth’s blushing cheek,
The Alpha and the Omega lace,
And form the eternal;
When child and grandmother, so meek,
Bonded in God, by His Grace,
Embrace and strengthen
Each; to overcome evil despite being weak.

I love the picture. For some reason I can only see it in the Reader, not in your actual post.
Today my husband and I had lunch with friends. They had their twin grandsons along. One of the boys showed me a picture on his Kindle table that looked amazingly like the picture you have with this post. He told me, “This is my great-grandmother.”
I said, “That’s a wonderful picture. She looks like she loves you very much.”
He said, “She does! She gives me lots and lots of sugar!” 🙂

Hi Linda, The picture is posted on my ‘home’ page, the reader takes you to the second page. I wonder if he meant sugar/sugar or kisses/sugar? Having a great grandma is a special experience.:0)

I wondered what kind of sugar he meant, too. I wanted to ask him, but he and his twin brother were competing for my attention, which made for a very fast paced conversation, lol.
You’re right, having a great grandmother is special. I feel so blessed to be able to remember two of my great grandmothers and one great grandfather. I also was privileged to know a step great grandfather, who treated me like his own.
I am a great grandmother myself. I have a two year old great grandson. The wallpaper on my cell phone is a picture of his sweet little face. I haven’t been able to meet him yet, they live so far away. I pray that this year it will happen.
