AMAZING GRACE

Michael Estabrook


Sunday mornings grandmother would sing
Amazing Grace along with the radio,
then recite the names
of the books of the Old Testament
in order. “Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges . . .”
And she loved when snow covered the yard
and the streets and trees and houses
in pure, sparkling white like it must be in heaven.
And when something surprised her
she would exclaim, “Land sakes alive,”
then quickly go back about her business.
