Her Warmth ~

purchased at an auction
three decades
ago
a
simple pitcher
symbol
of
her hospitality
cups
of

steaming hot coffee
for the adults
the aroma
of
warm homemade buns
fresh
from the oven
melted butter
floating over
their
golden tops
her
kitchen
always
open
welcoming
her arms open too
Gramma Bergman
as children
never knowing
she wasn’t
truly
Gramma
to all
who passed
through her door
