Dressed in pajamas and no robe Out the back door she went A bag of garbage in her hand Grandson slammed door with intent He'll lock Granny out its a fun game She turns around; panic sets in, a child alone; danger Feelings like the Titanic Think__ no phone, no key, can't leave, not dressed, what can be done? Stand back, put feelings aside She will not be outdone_ Thieves break in so why can't I Go walk around the house Right now one thing for sure can not totally lean on spouse Memory uploads a good thought One window will not lock It opens wide without a hitch No longer race the clock This was about 16 years ago and I was a lot younger and more agile then but I found something to climb on and got in the window and fell in the house on the floor..I was scratched, bruised and sore but I got in where he was so he was not alone..Then I got to thinking about that broken window and they gave me feelings that were unsettled..We got that fixed though..Sara

Hi Sara, this is Emma, Russell's wife, if you don't know already he's in the hospital with broken bones in his back. He fell in the tub (clumsy like me). He's fine, just some pain right now. He's mending and hope to be back to normal is 3 months or so. I don't remember if I had told you all this before, so I hope I'm not repeating myself to you. Sorry if I am. I remember when Abigail liked to lock doors. She never locked us out, but she has locked the door behind us. Luckily we had a key....

Anyway, Russell would like to say something, Ha! "I really enjoyed having this poem read to me this evening. You still impress me by your wonderful work my friend. You never know what little kids will do, they are ornery sometimes. This is a glorious and wondrous poem Sara. Such a delight to read you again. Great work."
