A little edit made such a lot of difference to this poem, well done! It is genuinely lovely. To be honest I can't see any problematic abstractions here -- I usually advise against using such general terms as love, soul or spirit (there are a few more as well) except in very specific contexts, but I don't think there's anything here that falls into that category. I do love that you have used rich figurative language instead of literal descriptions (Nana was grey and wrinkly and she smelled funny
)
)
It could be worse
