As the moon caresses my window Tonight and every other night I invite you in my dreams I call you onto me To mesh with your spirit To feel my grandmother's love Like the reassuring embrace To that little five-year old Getting a kiss on the forehead After her bedtime story I call out to you dear grandmother Somewhere in that endless sky Wherever you may roam To wrap your loving arms around me As I lay my head to sleep Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~ALWAYS WITH ME~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on April 22, 2018 for LATE APRIL STANDARD contest sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

Wonderful! We all want to release the stress of this life and lay it on another. Even if just for a few minutes.

Thank you, Gershon. In fact, my grand-mother truly was the first love of my life.

Yes, sometimes we all need to be tucked in with that total security our mothers once gave us-
