Grandma's Melodies

Gentle Melody

You look up at the growling monster, bigger and scarier than any shadow you've ever seen at night. The power of Grandma's jam is in your pocket and the warmth of a familial melody sit tingles in your chest. As you start to sing your song, it feels like a whisper in front of this giant beast.

But even as you wobble a little against the thundering roars, you remember what wise ol’ Granny had said, her soothing voice echoing in your mind: 'Courage sings loudest, dear one. It’s not just about how loud you yell, but how much heart you put in your tale'. So, gathering your nerves, you think of Granny's twinkling eyes and soothing voice, and the comforting aroma of her kitchen filled with jars of jam. And all your fear begins to melt away just like how her delicious jam melts on warm, buttery toast.

The sky is a disco of stars, twinkling grandly like a comforting blanket over you. As you sing, your small voice swells, fills the night and bravely goes head to head with the roar of the sinister, moon-eating monster. Despite your rattling sensory ride, you stay strong. After all, more than battle, this is a song of love; a serenade to tranquil nights, and the silvery moon that should shine in its rightful place.
