Poetry
My Grandmother's House
Two little rooms in a little apartment,
With little windows and little doors
And the littlest lady of them all,
Sitting, feet barely touching the kitchen floor.
Knitting little sweaters for little children
With eyes of blue and hair the color of wheat,
As they sprint across the narrow hallway
In the midst of that summer’s heat.
She poured us warm chamomile tea
And sliced freshly baked bread and butter.
Little feet dangled off the chairs
As we dipped our fingers in palettes of watercolor.
When the wind rose in the afternoon sun,
We put our little shoes on and sprinted down the stairs
Tripping around corners as we missed steps
