"The Reminder"

(Matthew 5:13)

"You are the salt of the earth,"
 he said.
 What curious words ...
what can he mean?

 And then I remembered
 the teachings of my grandmother.
 "Anna, always say
 'Yes ma'am' and 'No sir.'
 Say 'I enjoyed my supper;
 may I be excused?'
Say 'Please pass the salt.' "

 And now I understand
 the curious words.
 He is reminding me to
"Please pass the salt!"
