Grandma's Lessons

"Bend over at the waist".

"Point your hands toward water".
 
"Bend more" Grandma says.

She pushes me from behind.

"There! now you can dive" she says.

She gave you good advice, Francine, and I bet you're a great diver now. Sweet nostalgic poem that brings back childhood memories. Love, Carolyn
