I recall when I was a little girl,
and my grandma would tell me old stories;
her voice made my imagination swirl,
I often wrote them in my diaries.
She was our family storyteller,
and now it is me who tells of the past;
those old stories could be a bestseller,
that and her jewelry- to me has passed.
I have no daughter but I have a niece,
quiet to my old stories she listens;
and it is her, that I give the odd piece,
jewelry although old- bright it glistens.
A new storyteller when I have died,
and she wears that jewelry with great pride.
