Some people feel awkward as they share their personal feelings. Consider sending this poem if you want to tell your granddaughter how much she means to you.

This is the perfect poem to share with a talented granddaughter on her special day. If you are old enough to be a grandparent, you know that life is full of good times and bad. You may want to protect your granddaughter from illness and hard times, but this is impossible. Instead, you can share messages of encouragement and strength in the form of beautiful poetry. A home-cooked meal or care package will likely be much appreciated as well.

A grandmother watches as her granddaughters, even though they live with unspeakable hardships, continue to live happy lives. We love it when poets find beauty even in the darkest of circumstances. If your granddaughter has a sick child, she may relate to the words of this rather strange poem. When your granddaughter is going through tough times, you may need to help her put life into perspective.

This poem is about the continuity of the natural world and reminds us that no matter how difficult today is, happiness will come again. You can always count on Emily Dickinson to help us find a poem on almost every subject.

She uses the imagery of a bird to describe the feeling of hope that resides in our souls. Has your granddaughter had to make a new beginning after a failed relationship or extended illness? Encourage her to embrace her new life with this hopeful poem by Walt Whitman. One of the stanzas reads:.

What are your favorite poems and poets? When I was about 12, Grandpa took me out for lunch in my hometown of Brookline, Mass. He had grown up in Yugoslavia, but after being scapegoated for an assassination, the Jewish community had felt increasingly unwelcome. But at 12, I sat and listened, not knowing, of course, that Grandpa would soon get sick with a cruel disease that attacks his memory every day.

As his poem suggests, the stories about what happened in the Europe that Grandpa left behind have few happy endings. Stories from his own life, though, especially after he moved to the U.

I especially like the one about Grandma approaching him for the first time in a Columbia University library. In the world he left behind, some people had hoped this type of poem would never be published. Now, as I walked back to the shelf in the Jewish literature section of my university library, I knew those people had lost.
