Grandmother's Recipe Card, Written in Pencil
by Marcia Dell
“Pencil faded, soft and worn, and still I can read her hand. I sang it close to the microphone, like she was in the room.”

Lyrics
I found a card in the drawer Pencil faded, soft and worn Grandma's hand, her careful hand Flour dust still on the corner Pencil on the card Tastes like home Pencil on the card I'm not alone Two cups sugar, one cup love Stir it slow, she used to say I hum her song and stir the bowl The kitchen warms the day Pencil on the card Tastes like home Pencil on the card I'm not alone Smell of sweet and spice Floating through the door Grandma, I can taste you Like the days before Now I pass it down the line Little hands upon the spoon Same old song, same old sweet Under the kitchen moon Pencil on the card Tastes like home Pencil on the card I'm not alone Pencil on the card Tastes like home
