Wrinkled like Yoda
Warm like her broth
Soft like the blankets she knitted long ago
She holds me on one thigh
She breathes out
The minty aroma
Dances in the air
Her smooth hair brushes up against me
Silver like pearls
I close my eyes
I’m still with her

To lead with empathy and to encourage others to do the same
My great-grandmother because she is hard-working and has taught me important lessons that brought me to where I am today. She inspired me to write this poem and I hope to use the lessons she taught me throughout my life.
