The Traditional Refrigerator
A Mere Clay Pot
In a village where time stood still,
A tale of wonder, simple and real.
With parents by my side, I roamed,
To Grandma's haven, we often homed.
A clay pot, nestled in a corner's embrace,
A rustic fridge, a cooling grace.
Molded with care, by skilled hands spun,
Fire-dried and set, when each day was done.
Through seasons harsh, under sun's fierce reign,
That humble pot defied the pain.
In its earthen arms, water turned cold,
A mystery of ages, a story to be told.
Grandma's watchful gaze, so tender and mild,
Guarding the treasure, that simple, fragile child.
Delicate it seemed, yet a strength held within,
A vessel of memories, where love had always been.
Three stones beneath, in harmony they lay,
A balanced trio, come what may.
No riches spent, no fortunes paid,
Nature's gift, a legacy made.
And in this tale of life's gentle art,
A lesson woven, from the very start.
In simplicity lies strength untold,
A grandma's wisdom, a story gold.
