I Feel Like I'M Addicted

I feel like I’m addicted But it’s not to any drugs. If you’re a brand-new grandma, You’ll give nods and knowing shrugs. For a baby born to one of yours, Especially the first, Opens such a flood of feeling That you feel like you could burst. Though I’m sure I’ll wean myself away As time goes through its ticks, Meanwhile I must visit Henry Just to have my daily fix.

Just a sniff and gentle cuddle. Then through the rest of my life, I can muddle. :)

You are more maternal than I am, Ilene. You are like my mom. She just adores the little babies and this is a cute poem.
