Audition
By Hope Anita Smith
Sunday mornings at our house are full of music.
Grandmomma is singing. She says she’s auditioning for the heavenly choir.
The music of her voice gets us up and dressed, gets us fed and out the door.
Grandmomma is singing. Her voice as rich as cream, sure as tomorrow.
I close my eyes and try not to let her see how her song moves me.
Let her keep practicing. She is music, and I never want her song to end.
