Awesome Kid Grandma

Awesome Kid Grandma
It’s what my granddaughter calls me
When she writes of my deeds

She thinks I have super powers
The children at school ask me to
“Not tell the grownups” 

I am young-at-heart, but they
think I am 
just
young

I am an orange woman, 
paisley, wearing love beads
Always open for business
Listening and learning

Waiting for you to give me a nod
Just a glimpse of what you need
For I am a rescuer, and I want to 
rescue everybody

Since I was eight I have had dreams
of building a dog and cat sanctuary,
so they could all live.
I also dreamed of providing a home for mommies with babies.
Later recognizing that as a home for unwed mothers.
But at eight, that part was hidden from me.

L Milton Hankins July 27, 2021 at 9:46 AM Just keep on being you, Caren. Your genuineness and authencity is so darn refreshing! Caren Krutsinger July 27, 2021 at 9:22 PM Thank you Hank; I am always just out there. Experts have suggested that I build a self-wall but I never can.

Gershon Wolf July 26, 2021 at 8:38 PM Yes, I can picture of all of that (and more). You are, indeed, forever a kid. A good and a great kid, may I add. Hugs, Gershon Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2021 at 8:42 PM My email address includes PeterPanInFemale.
