The Warrior Grandma

O’er those lush hills, nestled in a hushed vale Lives a vivacious Grandma, aged, forlorn,  Winter white hair, wizened skin, gnarled fingers Brumous eyes exuding a lambent glow Morning wakeup call "Cock-a-doodle-do" She lights her stove, cooks delectable snacks Defying age, her jocund spirit gleams When she serves street orphans, her meals, homemade Evening, she collects fallen berries, sweet Assorted veggies, garden-fresh, tempting Puts them on sale, long queue of buyers lined Ne’er depends she, on a soul, for money Living in the present, her life’s motto Serving the homeless, her ardent passion   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
