Poem
Though still as loving, still as kind and gentle, still as beautiful as they were in days of yore… today’s grandmas are a different breed than the grandmas who came before. Although they still share some similarities…the love they freely give…that twinkle in their eye… the ways we use to think of grandmas…those old cliches… to modern grandma’s don’t apply… Grandmas of old were called Grandma…only Grandma… at least all the grandmas I ever knew… today we call them Nana, Gigi, Oma and YaYa just to name a few. Grandmas were once characterized sitting in rocking chairs, smiling crocheting with other grandmas…their needles kept neatly in a tin… Today’s grandmas still smile while they sing and dance and now…rock any chair they happen to be sitting in. Grandmas were known for baking cookies…and driving slow…like they were in a coma… Today’s grandmas still bake awesome cookies but drive like they’re at Indianapolis or Daytona. Grandmas were once depicted as old ladies…wearing glasses with their white hair in a bun… Today’s grandmas let their hair down…and are all about the fun. We didn’t think old grandmas ever took a drink… they were too busy knitting…or talking to one another Today’s grandmas can be found with a cocktail in one hand and their grand-baby in the other. Yes, although modern grandmas some new skills and behaviors have amassed they still share some important qualities…with our grandmas of the past. Nothing will ever replace the feeling of a Grandma’s hug or wonder of a Grandma’s smile… and love, generosity and caring will never go out of style. We learned this from our old grandmas… saw the love and the magic in their resolve…. and isn’t it wonderful to see in our modern grandmas how that love and magic has evolved.
