The Cook

She placed her apron tightly on
 it hid her nightly gown
 and gently whisped the recipe
 from ages handed down.

 She tweeked many recipes,
 if they were not her own
 became her families fav chef
the best they ever known.

 She's a wife, sister and Mother,
 Some day a Grandma too
 and someday her recipes
 will be handed down to you.

Jessica, I love the joy of passing down a keepsake... Especially when it stays and is passed down the family... Linda

Linda, I agree with that so heartedly. Nothing like things passed down to the ones you love. :)
