I Will Keep You Forever

You were discovered inside a white Bible on a summers day brown as a dead hen with a chicken neck crumbling too, brittle, all your water gone oh Grandma what is it? I had to think for a second. you are a reminder of a time when I was not anyone's grandma I saw you sneering at me and I smiled with affection. you were the first flower I had not gotten from Daddy and Mommy. I will keep you safely inside this Bible forever my love. Remembering how nervous was the boy who handed you to me.
