Memaw made some hot cocoa peace
In a big pot on the stove
Just the cocoa, and sugar
Boiled with milk and vanilla
We would sit in her rockers
Next to the kitchen wood stoveAnd with her biggest needles
We would string the cranberries
Alternating with popcorn
To decorate the old tree
That I would make her drag out
At the start of December
And I would gather gumballs
That fell from the backyard tree
Painting them gold and silver
As ornaments for the tree...
Today as November ends
I’m decorating my house
But I stopped for just a bit
To stir up some hot cocoa
And remember her
