Christmas Time and Granny's Pies and other baked goods too.

Celebrate My Mother

I loved the fresh pies mother used to Bake 

On Thanksgiving Or for Christmas Day 

cookies she would bake Icing with 

Green and Red sugar crystals 

on top of short bread cookies 

fresh from mom's stove I had a tingling up my nose 

In a minute i was off 

with a flash into the kitchen arose with a clutter with a sash to get

 

some of mom's Fresh cookies 

with sprinkles of love and many blessing 

She made them with love from her heart 

For she could not share in the fun 

she was diabetic and baked out of the love 

For her family which her had plenty of them 

seven Little ones of us ages 15-1 and we all shared the same problem 

a sweet tooth until it got loose

 

and then the dentist 

pulled it and the sweetness was gone 

we never had another problem 

because our sweet tooth was Gone

.

For now at Christmas time we miss

Granny's Pies

For she was the family Baker

and holidays she was the best home maker.

For it was Christmas time and granny's pies and for them we had eyes.

I understand this poem. The old faces and kind people we shall miss forever. The holidays do bring back the memory of dear grandparent and the family days missed. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thank you for memorializing this delicious, well-stated slice of your childhood nostalgia! *smile* I used to say -- I don't have a sweet tooth, but every tooth in my mouth is sweet! Living on a farm with a constant stream of eggs & cream, my mom "had" to make desserts for every meal, it seems, cementing all our tendencies to have sweet teeth! But fortunately now my sweet addiction is a little bit more tamed! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
