It was on a wintry evening; I was with her all alone. Snow had fallen, we were stranded; Grandma had no lights nor phone. Listening to the crackling fire Piercing silence like a knife, Grandma told me of her childhood And the hardships of her life. How she rode the open wagon, Braved the cold, the hunger, pain, Having few of life’s possessions That someday I would obtain. How I wish I’d kept a diary, Kept her story in my head. I was, oh, so very young then And forgot much that she said. Read more articles by Mariane Holbrook or search for articles on the same topic or others. Like reading Christian Articles?

This 'Wintry Night with Grandma' gives me pictures in my mind! I have a cassette tape of my mother telling me about her childhood. It's so precious. I need to find out how to transfer it to a CD, as the tape is getting 'along in years.' Very nice poem here, and I enjoyed it!, Love, Jacque Marilyn Schnepp  07 Feb 2007 Neat story in rhyme; enjoyed it and the meter and rhythm is pure poetic poetry perfectly personified! (try saying that 3 times speedily) Nice work. TRUST JESUS TODAY ALL SINS FORGIVEN Free Audio Bible 500 Plus Languages Faith Comes By Hearing.com
