how glorious the propensity
they shared
on occasion
i find
notes
recipes
the signature of the artist architect
dates to remember
written onto
the woodworking
of the old house
buttressed names on attic rafters
the sliding sides of drawers
inside a cabinet door
in both my grandparent’s
cursive
their words
lives lived
become
gifts given
and lessons taught
to a
granddaughter
as she crosses
through her own time
be grateful for all of it
