Wow! Your poems evoke images of Grandma’s garden gate, with it’s rusted horse shoe hanging over the gate. I see also the cement angel on that cement slab, but it is winter in the Precious Memories garden and my 4 yr old granddaughter is folding her hands and bending her head in prayer in imitation of the little angel. Thanks for stimulating my heart’s memories with your poems! Indeed, it is better with friends!
Blessings, Susan Ward
