Replying to a comment on:

Grandma (Free verse) by Dovina

Senses sharpened to understand pain, fingers burning, hot sand in the joints, she’s learned common things uncommonly well. Not just good works, it’s goodness of heart.

I agree with richa again. I don't think older peoples' senses are sharpened. Considering how bad things are for young people with, say, childhood arthritis, it's easy to imagine old peoples' senses are dulled somewhat to pain.

Honest question: What do you think is the difference between good works and goodness of the heart? Do you think people just accidentally do good works most of the time?
