My Emily
My Emily
The years fly by, our children leave the nest;
so soon their own are off to meet their quest.
This month, she graduates with her degree;
a teacher now, granddaughter reached her aim.
With love of reading, writing, she became
head of the Poetry Society
and student-taught the middle school that she
attended years ago...her joys to claim.
English teacher now
certified to shape young minds
with love of words...written, read.
As a poet too,
the heart of this proud grandma
overflows with thankful joy.
