Poem: Memories of Dinner at Grandmother’s House

Though my grandmother has long passed
The memories of my time at her home very much alive 
Her apartment filled with the aroma of fried potatoes
And chicken patties frying on the stove
The table set with gold embroidered plates
And filled with my other favorite treats
I am tempted to pick up the phone
And invite myself over for dinner
Only to realize that she is no longer here
My stomach begins to growl
And I make my way to the kitchen
Ready to recreate the dinner in my own home
