(As a little girl, I had the pleasure of spending summer weeks with my Grandma and Grandpa in Humble, Texas. I was one of thirteen grandchildren. Grandpa had each of us convinced that we were his personal favorite. Those dreamy visits provide the impetus for countless discussions, cherished collections, and beloved recipes.)
I have arrived!
My parental escorts deposit me in this candy land
Without understanding of my full value
Unappreciated in my hometown
Adored in this alternate reality
I am Grandpa’s favorite chollywoggler
There is none beside me
An entire year spent in preparation for my return
An entire season given over for the visit of a little girl
My treasured Humble summer
Enjoy Your Words
