Ingredients

CHERRY PIE

by Edra Ward

Now's the time for memories

Of Grandma's cherry pie . . .

Brown crust and spice and sugar

And jucie fruit, piled high.

'Twas baked in the big oven

Along with three or four;

Thier wonderful aroma

Came floating out the door.

We watched through all the making

And often got a taste . . .

Each bit was so delicious,

Not one must go to waste.

We'd helped to pick the cherries,

That made it extra good,

For heat to do the baking

We'd carried in the wood.

We saw the dough mixed quickly;

How fast the rolling pin

Smoothed it out, so nice and round,

Just right to fit the tin.

The firm deft fingers worked,

And soon each crimson sphere

Was ready to be covered

With sugar and spice.

The top would then be dotted

With cinnamon, here and there,

And the latticed upper crust

Was put in place with care.

And when 'twas time for dinner

How everyone would beam,

As Grandma cut the cherry pie,

And pour the rich thick cream.
