The Spices of the Heart by Nancy Lee Shrader

Granddaughters spice up the day.

They brings giggles

in pink toenails,

tea parties

in dresses oversized.

Cheers you each day

with two pom poms.

Heals you

in a homemade nurses cap.

Loves you

with a heart overflowed.

Grandsons are spicy too.

They brings laughs

in muddy shoes,

tea parties

with real food.

Cheers you each day

with a laugh and a smile.

Heals you

with a homemade stethoscope.

Loves you

without regret.

Spices sweet, spices bitter sweet.

So much alike, but

they are different too.

One kisses

with colorless sweet lips,

while the other

holds your cheeks with dirty hands.

Each tender kiss

fills a grandmother’s heart

with so much pride

and much more love.
