Robbie Dean Press,
Ann Arbor, MI
I remember my grandfather.
He made a swing for
me and I swung high.
I felt a cool breeze
on my face and felt like a butterfly.
My grandfather told
old tales to me, and I was always excited as if I had become the heroine.
Sometimes,
My grandfather carried
me on his shoulders.
I felt like a giant.
But most of all,
When spring came,
I remember going on a picnic with him on a mountain behind our house.
We saw flowers of
sky-blue, violet, green, and yellow, and smelled their delicious scent.
