Grandma's Handkerchief


Just a little square of cotton
trimmed with a bit of lace
she used one so many times
drying tears from her face

That little square of cotton
she carried everywhere
folded neatly ironed
always given special care

Found them in her pockets
by the bed where she slept
atop her well worn Bible
one was neatly kept

She placed one in my hand
as I walked down the aisle
a little square of cotton
and Grandma's loving smile

Now I hold and cherish
my Grandma's handkerchief
it holds such loving memories
and helps me through my grief

That little square of cotton
trimmed with a bit of lace
ironed and neatly folded
kept in a special place.
