How I miss her …

elderly and young hands

Craigroyston Early Years Centre’s Makin’ A Brew group parents have been writing poetry – some as individual pieces of work and others creating poems in groups.

This beautiful unnamed poem was written by Yaa Agyepong:

Making soaps and body creams
Sewing dresses and braiding hair
Farming, cooking and cleaning
And painting the house too.
My grandmothers hands
The domestic goddess
Prized possession
Cooking, cleaning, painting
From my granny’s hands to mine
I’m just a chip off the old block.
How I miss her!
