Our Roles
I won’t go sledding down a hill
(Though other grandmas surely will)
But I will never have my fill
Of nestled grandkids, reading.
A jungle gym gives some a thrill
Or skiing might just fit the bill
Yet I’d prefer to walk or chill,
The chance of risk receding.
At homework time, I have the skill
To help and hopefully instill
The patience to complete each drill,
The teachers’ orders heeding.
We all hope that we can fulfill
Our roles with loving, which we will
With what our nature gives us, ‘til
Without us, they’re succeeding.
