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.

Senses do not usually sharpen with age. Her senses were sharpened, I believe, because her good heart needed perception of pain in others to fulfill its desires, somewhat like a blind person sharpens her sense of hearing.
