My Grandmother

                                                                                                                       Elizabeth Jennings

 From the message of the poem, one with deep thought will figure so many things; futility is one among. It became obvious in the final stanza of the poem that many cherished things were left behind not excluding the poem speaker. Based on the theme of "aging to death" loneliness is human’s worst enemy but people neglect the company of their aged ones calling them out-of-date. The theme of remembering the loved-ones inspired the poem. Elizabeth Jennings couldn’t stand the lost of her grandmother by so doing transposed the elegy into something close to a satire. She claimed no grief but narrated the lonely plight of the old woman and how she so much need human company. The poem is interesting because it brings back to readers mind the truth that "We never a good thing till is gone".
