My Gran had an old blue chest,
Hidden in her sewing cupboard
I saw it once-
Playing hide and seek
After stealing the key from a drawer.
When I asked my old Gran
About the blue chest
She cried and mumbled
“Go play outside”,
I hid behind the lemon tree.
When my old Gran died
Her blue chest was pried open,
Inside were bundles of letters-
Signed: Love always, Paul, 1972
My Grandad’s name was Alec.
