Grandma’s porch
Makes me want to be there
Sitting in the rocking chair
The smell of apple pie in the air
Little granddaughter with her teddy bear
Sitting in the other chair
The smells of Autumn everywhere
Makes me want to be there
Grandma is no longer in her chair
The rocking chair is no longer there
One thing I have and of it I take good care
Is a box in my closet that holds the teddy bear

It was a cold wet and very dreary mid October day, Noticing my granddaughters mood was kinda gray. Many thoughts, ideas went rushing through my mind, Surely there must be something useful that I can find. There it was on my dining room table in a ceramic bowl, Two kinds of green apples a bit ripened but not too old. Quickly itemizing in my head all the ingredients I'll need, I realized that I had them all and surely would succeed. At first my granddaughter did not seem very excited, So I threw some flour at her and she became delighted. Next was to see who could cut the longest unbroke peel, Her eyes lit up and a big smile, how good it made me feel. The following fall I bought McIntosh and Golden Delicious, A gift for my granddaughter that was totally nutritious. I am eager to explain my heartfelt desire and ambition, How wonderful it will be to make this our October tradition. So my dear granddaughter I will not deny, You will forever be the apple of my eye.
