While evening sways the almond grove
and palm tree dates bloom on the beach,
my grandma slaves over the stove
to serve a simple family feast.
Mom leads us in a quiet grace
that lasts so long my stomach growls,
then once we’re blessed I stuff my face
as dad and grandpa smile and howl.
Original:
While evening sways the almond grove
and palm tree dates bloom on the beach,
your grandma slaves over the stove
to make a pie from summer peach.
