Grandmother's Porch

Grandmother's Porch

Oh, with my love remembered! 

Huge American flag flying with pride!

House a pristine white, with hunter 
green shutters.

Three matching hunter green rocking 
chairs with chintz cushions.

Huge geranium plant in a lovely wood 
container.

Railings to keep us children all safe!

My hobby horse, Willy and my dolly, 
Sally,in a high chair. 

The most welcoming wood front door 
with shiny brass handle. 

Two lanterns beside that door of joy! 

Oh, Grandmother Helen ! I miss you so!   

And my days of cinnamon innocence.
