Social Media

my grandchildren are all over tic toc
posting videos of themselves being provocative
it makes me cringe but I cannot stop them
why their parents do not, is a wonder to me

I post photos of my garden and my artwork on Facebook
because many people like to see what I am up to
I do not put photos of my grandchildren on there
My children are I.T.’s and have asked me not to.

Apparently, some trolls capture photos of children
And do strange things with them, which is a travesty.
I like social media because it helps me keep in touch
I would never know what my family was doing without it.
