Candy Dish Back in the Day

Arranged-Bowl-of-Pastries-and-Treats.jpg

My grandmother
Always
Had a bowl of candy out
On the table
For us

Love comes out in many ways
But always there's the feeling and intent
Action too.

Offerings to children
And everyone else too
Do not go unnoticed
By me.

The song was one of her favorites
Perhaps because it has an Eastern European flavor
I would always play it for her on the piano
And she would always clap afterward
With misty eyes.
