Today I ran a rare workshop for adults. My grandma was one of the workshop participants, and I'm pleased to say she produced the first poem that she remembers writing. This was also on the day she got her Covid vaccination, so a good day all round. Here is my grandma's poem; I think it is very moving.
Yellow
Yellow is the colour
of sunshine and hope.
It reminds me of my Welsh origins
and St David’s Day celebrations.
It is the colour of children playing,
of happiness.
It reminds me of my favourite dress
and the occasions I wore it.
Yellow is how
I would like people to feel
when they think of me.
Yellow is joy.
