Super Nana
They’re both asleep for naptime
But bound to wake up soon
And so I can’t resist
This writing moment opportune.
The older one is stirring;
The little one as well
But as to which will wake up first –
It’s hard for me to tell.
I’m with them every Friday,
My husband by my side
But for today I’m on my own –
Not easy, I’ll confide.
Just call me Super Nana!
For things are in control.
My face displays the truth, though,
For such effort takes its toll.
Still, time with them is precious
And I’ll gladly pay the price
For a nana or a grandpa
Gets the joy from children twice!
