A beautiful poem. Have you thought of sending it to the quilt magazines, it would be a nice addition. So many could see this as there granny and family :D

No, I haven't done that, as I don't know of any that might accept poetry or a short story thing such as this. Thanks, however for the compliment on my article Granny's Crazy Quilt and for the idea. Hugs to you and yours. Vickey S.

Your poem is really lovely. As far as magazines, "Quilt" magazine use to publish poems like that. You could look them up on line and contact them to see if they still do. REally petty poem, very touching.
