Grandma's spoon

Writing Novena November 13

The prompt this time was an old spoon once owned by the grandmother of one of the members of the group. I wrote this and added my own picture of my grandmother's spoon.

Rummaging through
a box
I found my grandmother's
spoon. I hold it now
to feel the smooth wood
she must have held thosands of
times. It is suffused with her grace
and the joys and sufferings of her life.

Wood holds the memories best
having once been a living thing
itself.
