I remember a time when life – Communal Pen

I remember a time when life

Collection: ,

Prompt: Day from youth or young adulthood in my community.

I remember a time when life
was slow but happy like
sitting at my grandmother’s
side as my cousins and I
took turns to read the Bible.

The fireplace would be warm
with a glow from the fire and
the smell from sweet potatoes baking.
After reading,
she would braid our hair as we
sat around talking and laughing
about small things which I now
realize was about life.
