Grandma's Gift

Today's  October Memoir and Backstory Challenge is age 12. Regina Gort shares a memory of a special gift.

Grandma's Gift

Came without 

wrapping,

no fuss,

a bound book of

lined, blank pages.

A soft green cover,

small, white, flower print.

I reveled the weight of

it, as I turned it over and

over in my hands.

Not fully aware of

the power she had

bequeathed, I thanked

her in a hug.

Once I found a moment with a

pen, I wrote my song,

no matter the key,

that I am still singing.

Regina Gort, age 12
