Constance La France Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Old Stories and Jewelry

 
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.
