I yearn for the values of my grandmother
not catholic, not starched and sterilized by religion
not rusty morals nor ignorant rules

I yearn for the values of my grandmother
curled around me with love and kindness
virtuous actions bringing peace to minds

I strive to create a pure moral discipline
in my self, as I saw in my grandmother
something rare in the face of today’s anger
hatred, attachment, confusion

I yearn for the wealth of my grandmother
an uncontaminated purity, patience
her undeniable courage and unconditional love
