Leftover WoolWhen my knitting queen aunt
Feels that needlework pull,
She starts knitting some squares
Using leftover wool.
They’re rectangles, really,
With colorful stripes,
Their patterns and stitches
Of similar types.

Using needle and thread,
She will sew them together...

Arms wrapped around me with love
We'd rock back and forth
Like the swing on my porch
And you'd squeeze me so close

Her name is Captain Alanna,
She wears a Jolly Roger on her hat,
And she loves bananas.

Across oceans and seas,
Swashbuckling and hunting treasure,
In between having afternoon...

A Granddaughter and Grandmother's TaleBeyond the skies, a love tale unfolds,
Between granddaughter and grandmother, secrets untold.
Bound by a bond, both fragile and strong,
Resentment and longing carried all along.

Love unspoken, yet quietly spread.

Mid-Day ConcertToday my grandson played trombone;
His sister danced around
As this nana and their grandpa
Soaked up every move and sound.
For as they grow up, it isn’t always
Easy or stress-free,
But this mid-day concert made the day
As...

When I sleep.
In the middle of the day.

The Picture of My GrandfatherHe would walk into the room
Shoulders held high
Pinnacled to touch the sky
In my eyes a giant of a man
My Grandfather wore a face
Of a blue-eyed Irish sage
With wondrous stories and rousing song
In every breath and...
