My Italian Grandmas Annette and Marie


Italian Grandmas
came by the sea
one was nice, and one was mean
Annette and Marie
both lived the American dream

Italian Grandmas
one was open, the other closed
both spoke perfect Italian
gifts of olives under the tree
holding their saint's medallion

Italian Grandmas
Annette and Marie
one offered hugs and love,
the other a distant memory on
wings of a dove

Italian Grandmas
one lived alone
one in a nursing home
both died the same year
my legacy in stone.
