Forever Friends
Floss Female Family Friends
I love Floss
always have always will
She recently greeted and guided me holding my sixty-one year old hand
in the wisdom of her eighty-three year old hand
It was my first time in the beautiful home of her Granddaughter Nicci
who was hosting a baby shower for her cousin Renee
GG Great Grandmother as Floss is affectionately called
took me on a tour of Nicci's home
The magical realms of pink greeted us in her Great Granddaughter's bedroom
I could live here
Later as all of the food festively covered the dining table the women gathered
and shared stories
Nicci is an absolute gift of womanhood in all of her guises
Loving, creative, nest builder, granddaughter, daughter, mother, wife, friend, "Tooth Floss Fairy"
Gentle Strong Wonder Woman
GG's crystal clear pale blue eyes sparkle in her loving matriarchal role to all present
Dressed in amethyst she is the forever ray of the rainbow
As a gift of Gratitude Candy Floss pink Camilla's from Maarnada's garden
are a symbol of Floss's four generations
floating in a circle
always connected through their love, emotions, laughter, human kindness
I give grateful thanks to my school friend Diana, oldest daughter of Floss
who connected me to this amazing circle of women
Daughters Dale and Barb
Cousins Andrea, daughter Renee my heart daughter, daughter-in-law Tanya
the granddaughters and great granddaughters
the space that holds us and the grace that enfolds us.
