Title: The Softness of Memories
The warm embrace of my Nana’s arms –
A gentle reminder of what once was,
Her hands – soft as moonlit sand,
Cradling time and love that has passed.
The scented bliss of her kitchen –
Tinged with the essence of home,
Fried okra and fragrant cumin,
Dancing in a tango of flavors.
The wisdom behind her weathered eyes –
A map of memories etched deep,
Stories told from ages past,
Echoes of her ancestors’ souls.
Her laughter, ringing like bells –
Sweet and pure as a summer breeze,
Laugh lines that tell the tale,
Of joy shared with family and friends.
A smile that could light up rooms,
With its infectious warmth and love,
Her radiant spirit, a beacon of strength,
Shining brightly even in her twilight years.
The Nani who taught me to sew,
And braid my hair with patience,
Giving me strength through her touch,
To mend the tears of life.
The woman whose songs echoed in my heart,
A lullaby for the soul,
Her voice like a symphony,
Harmonizing our family’s stories.
Nana – you are an eternal flame,
Cradling the flickering candles of memories,
Guiding us with your gentle touch,
As we navigate life’s journey together.
In the end, may I hold tight to these precious moments,
Like a soft blanket on a cold winter night,
A cherished legacy passed down through generations,
From Nani to me and beyond.
