  1. I did not find Grandma's Home but I'1m sending you one that I love:

    THE SLEEPING STONE

    I stopped to call a taxi in the heart of Babylon.

    At the pavement’s edge I stood - the traffic writhing on

    Leftward to the Whitehall turning like a lustrous snake

    Or rightward to Westminster Bridge, the southbound road to take,

    There to pass proud Boadicea set towards the tower

    Where Big Ben in his solemn grandeur booms the passing hour

    As if to warn the seething crowds that Time brooks no de!ay

    As he sifts the minutes of the unforgiving day.

    While I across the street looked out towards the Abbey wall -

    Afloat behind a spray of limpid light that seemed to fall

    Veiling the secret features of the Abbey’s ancient face

    That houses Jacob’s Bethel stone in its appointed place...

    Where Israel’s holy treasure lies for every eye to see:

    Safe in our keeping. This, the very Stone of Destiny.

    The taxi came. Again we plunged into the turgid stream -

    And glancing back, the Abbey seemed remote as in a dream.

    Sculptured in its frozen calm it stood apart, alone,

    Sharing with God the hidden knowledge of the sleeping stone.

    The best!
