GRANDMA

GRANDMA


A box of butter cookies, and

I remember Grandma
Tall and stately,
Hair done in a knot.

She was tall because
I was only five.

A green bowl with
Soda and graham crackers
And butter cookies.

She possessed the greatest of powers
Could heal a bruised knee just by
Wishing it wasn’t hurt.

From different flavors cane
The tastiest of cool drinks
Served in her best crystal
With butter cookies.

And I was only five.
