A Day With Grandma

I stood on the old wooden chair, my sweet old grandma, watching; I can still smell the red apples, and the pie dough we were rolling. We carefully put the pie in the oven, and sat at the kitchen table talking; We drank tea and told stories, in the living room grandpa was snoring. Later, grandma in her rocking chair, would soothe my head, gently stroking; I still remember she hummed a tune, and soon we would both be sleeping. ____________________________________ September 1, 2013 Poetry/Quatrain/A Day With Grandma Copyright Protected, ID 09-502-886-01 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France For the Standard contest, You're a Little Kid Again, sponsor, Juli-Michelle, Judged 2013 Third Place
