Lumber Jack and Grandma Nora

Lumber Jack likes his pancakes with kernels of sweet Iowa corn Freshly picked out of his Great Grandma Nora’s garden She spoils him by warming up his maple syrup and melting his butter. He is a forty-six-year-old great grandson who lives at home With his mother’s grandmother, a kind hearted woman whom he carries from room to room because at ninety-six her legs stopped working. She does for him, and he does for her. It is the best relationship he has ever had.

Oh my, what a poignant...no, incredibly wonderful synergistic relationship they have. Each are a blessing to the other. I love it.

Thank you Hank I enjoyed it when this poem pranced out of my imagination. I had a great grandma Nora who was four foot 11 and had 18 children.
