The Luckiest Time of All

When her great-granddaughter brings her a bouquet of flowers, Mrs. Pickens is reminded of something wonderful that happened to her long ago. Think about an object that reminds you of a happy time. Write a few paragraphs about the object. Tell what it is, describe it in detail, and tell what event or person it reminds you of. Then write the story of your pleasant memory. Use sensory language in your writing, like Lucille Clifton does, to help your readers fully experience your story.
