Generous

 Gratitude is a state of grace,

  which when multiplied gives generously.

Nan showed me this

  always giving out of her abundance.

Not as much to her family,

  but always outside her door.

Meals, cards, homemade 

  cookies hidden in the jar.

Smiles, thanks, even in a 

  place you foreign, the nursing home.

Aunt Bea, we knew it was bad

  when she was mean, she is never.

And then a last grace,

  surprise reading, how, where, nana.
