Life

She rolls her eyes a whole lot
And finally, not at me!
She pulls me over to her side
Gently fools me with her disguise

Like to child
In childlike-needs of consolation-
Like my beloved-grandmother
Still, with a stern-affirmation,
bumps a kiss over my head
then, sings my song
as she slowly lays me to bed!
