COMICS & POEMS 2: Grandma's House, Poetry

Grandma's House

Sheets snapping in the wind
The smell of the garden
A wheelbarrow and rake

Apple pies in open windows
A board game set up on the kitchen table
A fresh bowl of fruit

The aroma of a home-cooked meal
Made with grace and love
Warm hugs, teary-eyed smiles

A well-worn Bible
A wooden chest of old clothes
Stories from the past

Photo albums
Family pictures on the mantel
The old Dodge Dart

Memories that are priceless
Memories made at Grandma's house

--Written by Brenda Hicks
