Hello Nana

Relationships with grandkids Are controlled by mom and dad And time with them fulfills a dream I didn’t know I had. For hours that we spend are not Like any other time – Exhausting, yes, but precious And delightfully sublime. Yet as they age, becoming selves That they’ll grow up to be, Connections made outside the home May oftentimes be key. So I was thrilled this weekend When each grandchild made a call, On Daddy’s phone, to share some news That held them in its thrall. If life is like a garden And a grandchild is a seed Sown and nurtured by their parents, There’s one thing each one will need – It’s the sunshine that the nana And the grandpa do provide. “Hello Nana” on the phone was proof That need’s been satisfied.
