A Grandmother's Gifts.....by Joyce Riley

By Joyce Riley

I give to you my love, and see you in God’s light.

God’s spirit is your strength and comfort through the night.

I give to you my time, time in which to share

Treasures of the moment and beauty everywhere.

I give to you my gratitude for being who you are,

A loving, joyful spirit, a bright and rising star.

Beloved child of God, I release my human view

And see a guardian angel watching over you.

But, if you feel uncertain, lonely and apart,

Remember,

I am with you,

For I have given you my heart.

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
