Dear Grandma Poems by Lynn Barany What is it like where you are? Hope you're doing fine. Have you been working in your garden I hear it's sunny all the time. Did you get your hair done, bet it still isn't grey. It's not the same without you, I still miss you every day. How is Grandpa doing? Hope he's feeling well And is he always laughing About the funny jokes he tells. You know I saw the river Just this past May, It's still as lovely as it was Before you went away. There is not a lot that's new here I'm much older than before. It would make me happy If you could walk through my front door. I'm not sure how to mail this I don't have your postal code, Or if the mailman goes so far On his journey up the road. If you wouldn't mind Here's what I can do, I'll send "In care" of heaven to make sure it reaches you.

Hi, Thank you for coming to my poetry site. I hope you've enjoyed reading my poems and will come back again to this humble poets home -- Island Poetry. Every poem is original and is derived from my daily encounters, thoughts, experiences, relationships and contacts with family, loved ones, friends, nature, the world and people at large. My poetry is simple, uncomplicated, straight-forward and honest coming from the heart, soul, a spiritual presence and obviously God -- Her/Himself. Thus, once the idea and first line of a poem "pops" into my head, the balance of my poems "arrive to me" more or less complete requiring only my immediate and total attention and focus in its writing down, with minimal additional work or effort thereafter. While belonging to the International Society of Poets, I have also been fortunate to have had the support and publication of many of my poems by local community newspapers, faith groups, charitable organizations, and in various anthologies published by the National Library of Poetry and catalogued in the U.S. Library of Congress - Publication Data ISBN 1-56167-256-4 I now live on lower Vancouver Island, off the Canadian west coast. Although originally from the Canadian province of Ontario, I have over the years also lived in the province of Manitoba, as well as Germany. Once again thank you for reading my work, hope you enjoyed and found it relevant also to your own experiences of the living, loving and challenges of everyday life. I truly would appreciate and love to hear from anyone with comments, critiques, suggestions or what-have-you. Email Me - lynnbarany@islandpoetry.com Regards, Lynn Barany (Hanna)
