Poetry: Family memories

DANCING IN MAMA'S KITCHEN

(Mama was my grandmother who passed away in 1990.)

I danced in Mama's kitchen,
A red apron around my waist.
I swirled and twirled in
make-believe,
With flour on my face.

I was a ballerina,
Wearing white satin shoes,
Dancing on my tippy toes,
Like ballerinas do.....

We were baking bread that day,
I made quite a mess,
Kneading with my little hands,
I had to take a rest.

So I danced in Mama's kitchen,
Sweet aromas - baking bread.
Swirling make-believe dancer,
In my flowery dress of red.
