Grandma Joy Puffed Me Up

Grandma Joy stirred the eggs so they would not burn
I often watched, admiring her hands with spots
She gave me a smile, and let me have a turn
I love her aged arms, they are covered with dots
I told her about the young girl who did spurn
Grandma gave me compliments, and I mean lots.
Knew what she was doing, loved her anyway.
Full of eggs, I enjoyed the rest of my day.

Yep, I had a grandma like that, Caren. They are among the brightest spots in our lives. BTW, I feel much better today. My jaw is sore, but I'm able to eat and drink.

I'm sure it will be. I'm always a bit impatient, Caren.

I am glad you can eat; I hope it is easier each day.
