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.

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.
