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.
