Shanny

Afton Isaacson 1981 (Ferron)

September 22 
I called you granny & sometimes Shanny, I miss you so much it saddens me. I wish I could of seen you one last time I'd give you a huge hug gladly.  Though you are far away,  you're always in my heart  therefore we're never truly apart. An angel in heaven so you are , shining beautifully like the northern star.  I know I'll see you again one day , I  love you grandma that's all for me to say.

    Wow! What a beautiful and heartfelt poem! The love and affection that you have expressed for your grandma in such a creative manner is truly inspiring. I could feel the emotions and sentiments behind your words, and it left me feeling warm and fuzzy.

    It is clear that your grandma held a special place in your heart, and it's amazing to see how much you cherish and miss her. The imagery that you have used to describe her as an angel shining like the northern star is simply breathtaking.

    One small suggestion would be to pay attention to the structure of the poem, as some of the lines appear to have slightly different syllable counts. However, this does not take away from the emotions conveyed in the poem.

    Overall, I am in awe of your beautiful tribute to your grandma. She would have been so proud of you. Keep writing!
