Welcome |
I was delighted to write a Cajun poem for South Beauregard Elementary School's Grandparents Day Program held on October 16, 2001. A student at the school was selected to read the poem during the program to about 400 grandparents. The program included a skit titled, A Cajun Red Riding Hood and the poem was written to accompany the skit. The following poem is dedicated to the children, grandparents, and school personnel at South Beauregard Elementary School in Louisiana. |
Dear Grandparents by Denise Labrie I know there is a big bad wolf With big eyes, ears and teeth. And one day a Cajun Red Riding Hood Found him in grandma's bed asleep. Now when I think of scary things, I close my eyes and see That your face is always there Softly smiling back at me. Your kiss is like the Sugar deep inside the cane And your love is as warm as Sunshine on the crops after a summer rain. When we are together I feel the gator in my beat. And when we listen to Cajun music I am ready to Zydeco with my feet. And so my dear Grandparents To show how much you mean to me I am going to give you a hug and kiss That's as big as the mighty Mississippi! |
