Childhood memories of grandmother’s wisdom
“I would have you wise unto that which is good.” Rom 16:19
You have to creep before you walk
So the old saying goes,
And if you think before you talk
You won’t have so many foes.
Strange things my grandma used to say
I often wondered what she meant
As a child I’d often hear her quote
That life was only lent.
She added: “Walk along the sunny part”
Catch the fragrance of the rose,
And always try to see the bright side
Of another person’s woes.
Now grandma’s gone her words live on
Which I recall amidst life’s pain,
Assuring me, however many times I fall
“Faith will help me rise again.”
