When I Became a Nana
When I became a nana,
On this date, ten years ago,
There were so many things I didn’t
Know I didn’t know.
Like how I’d feel to hold my grandson,
Singing him to sleep,
Or how my love for him would bloom
And settle in, down deep.
The months and years I’ve watched him grow
Have flown by in a snap,
From when I read him “Goodnight Moon”
While nestled in my lap…
Until today, when we discuss
The world and its events.
I marvel at his knowledge
But a part of me laments
That times I rocked him in my arms
Were part of bygone days,
Yet I’ll remember always
All the trust held in his gaze.
