Magdalena conferred dignity on us
Lena and Jacob @ their 50th Wedding Anniversary
Grandma sewed 44 sets of PJ’s each Christmas,
Baked crullers, sauerbraten,
Sat enthroned in hassock-ed chairs,
Reigning o’er progeny’s den.
Baked crullers, sauerbraten,
Offered quarters for allowance,
Cooking lessons, Ed Sullivan’s TV dance.
Sat enthroned in hassock-ed chairs
Upholstered comfort, doilied arms,
Sweet kitchen smells, soft balms.
Reigning o’er progeny’s den:
Nodding, dignity conferred
On all her brood, her herd.

What a wonderful tribute to your grandmother. Modeling her for your grandchildren closes the circle.
