Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

First Bite

A child from the 'burbs on a Big Apple trip
Found it all more than slightly exciting - 
The buses, the taxis, the swings and the slides
All seemed magically more than inviting.

A glorious day on his grandparents' turf
For a long-overdue city taste
Gave this nana a glow and a grin ear to ear
That I hope will be echoed posthaste.

Robert Johnson April 1, 2015 at 9:08 PM Sounds like Mom and Dad are feeling kinda squirmy. I hope Henry's first wee bite wasn't very wormy. :)

Andrea Dietrich March 30, 2015 at 2:05 PM wow, you had a good day in the big apple. Or rather, your grandchild did!! Had he not seen your home/city yet? Ilene Bauer March 31, 2015 at 4:17 PM hey andrea! yes, you figured that out correctly. this was his FIRST visit to my apartment and neighborhood (we visit him every week in his home and he's visited his maternal grandparents a number of times so this visit was long overdue) and we all had a wonderful time. thanks for the comment...

Anna Hopper March 30, 2015 at 7:59 AM I don't know how to say, but this somehow reminded me of something. Perhaps I have felt that way about a child before. Hoping to leave them with nice memories that they will cherish. Nice write! Ilene Bauer March 31, 2015 at 4:14 PM thank you, anna! i am loving my latest career as nana to my 18 month-old grandson and hope that he does remember the time he spent with me...
