She's gone, but if she were alive today would be her 98th birthday. Here's a poem for her.<br /><br />My Face - No Face<br /><br />A contradiction in motion,<br />nails done in fire & ice,<br />feet in orthopedic ugliness,<br />you plan our future on the <br />back of an envelope labelled <br />'when my ship comes in'.<br />You will not leave the house<br />without 'putting on my face'<br /> but the highest tribute you <br />give someone is to say<br />'she has no face'.<br />You scrunch up<br />when any one of us goes to <br />kiss you, but you lean over and<br />take our earlobes in your fingers,<br />and giving them a tender rub,<br />say 'you look cold'.<br />You are fiercely opposed to cruelty, to meanness in any<br />way, but will tell us to 'snap<br />out of it' if we dare complain<br />about injustices done.<br />Even gone twenty-two years,<br />I see your face. Your beautiful<br />no face.<br /><br />Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727266796590751202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-25857689159725616852014-09-05T12:12:12.922-04:002014-09-05T12:12:12.922-04:00Oh, Liza, this poem is beautiful.

The love you felt for your grandmother shines brightly, and I can remember seeing a charm exactly like the one you described... but it was many years ago. I love that you still have yours.
