A Poem from Gran


My dearest Henry, this small book I send,

A gift of memories that has no end.

Within these pages, many tales unfold,

More precious far than silver or pure gold.

You'll find the stories of your family's past,

The bonds of love that always tightly last.


Of funny jokes and challenges we faced,

In every season, time we never waste.

It holds the recipes of dishes sweet,

Like cookies Gran makes, such a tasty treat!

The secrets whispered as the dough is mixed,

In every flavor, happy thoughts are fixed.


And everything and anything is here,

To hold the people that we hold so dear.

A drawing, a note, a saying that is true,

Adventures waited just for me and you.

So turn the pages, Henry, one by one,

Until you finish reading is done.


With all my love, my wonderful, sweet boy,

May this collection always bring you joy.
