Premium MemberSENIOR CITIZEN PERSPECTIVE

A Senior Citizen any day
Blessed to wake up hooray
Through the aches and pain
Sometimes the need to complain
Memory sometimes in forget
Enjoyment of retirement blitz
Carefree sensation
Surrounded by family and Grandchildren
Forget the Nursing Home
Always a need to walk and talk
Enriched spirit
Wanting to enjoy and live
 Breath of Life
Embracing refreshing flowers
Sometimes for hours
Oasis of their own
Rocking Chair moments
Reflecting on their past life
Youthful years
Wisdom mounts
Encouraging words
Exercising those joints
Friendly breezes in blessing
Smile to smile
Heart to heart
A Senior Citizen Start.

One day I pray to meet
My children's children, with my mother's blue eyed glee
Seeing me

My deepest wish
Blessed to see my progeny
Love rich

My child
Hope to see ye
Smile

One day I pray to meet
Blessed to see my progeny

Premium MemberGrandparenting 101

Grand is the wisdom of the experienced;
Raging with tears in the rearview mirror.
Anxiety dealt with, sweet dears.
Now listen, grandchildren, revere
Dad and Mom, but fear God -
Paradise is the presence of Christ.
Are you teachable, let me in;
Roar with the lion, bleat with the lamb.
Enjoy your life but obey God’s commands.
Net salvation and God‘s rich rewards.
Testing will prove you, child.
I am on your side - the bright and invincible.
Negotiating your success on my knees.
God hears with generational blessings.

1 child at a time
O left behind
1 God to spur you on

Premium MemberNot this Time

they swarm into our home like bees
seeking daisies, lilies, roses, and such
we throw sugary treats at them
allow them to commandeer the TVs
and the computers
Their parents roll their eyes
For we were never this way with “them”
We did not have to be
We were not their grandparents

The grandchildren want to live with us
They want to move in
They think we are better than their parents
Because we can spoil them completely for a few hours
Some want to spend the night
We have to say “not this time”
Because when they leave
we are exhausted and have to take a long nap
because our energy is completely gone
which is why God gives babies to young people

Premium MemberWhen You Get Grandchildren

I love my grandchildren so much it is nuts
I loved my children this much too, but it is a different love
This is a “I can be as crazy and friendly as I want” kind of love
It is a much more freeing kind of love
It cannot be explained; it must be lived
When you get grandchildren, you will understand
but not a minute before


Premium MemberThey Think They Can Outfox Me

They think they can get past me.
And they can if they are running flat out.
If they are trying to out-play me
They have another think coming.
I have ten grandchildren, three children,
and I have parented over twenty dogs and six cats.
It is very difficult to pull something on me
that has not already been pulled a thousand times.
The beauty of being an old experienced crone.

Premium MemberAnteros Grace

Have I ever told you that Anteros	
whispered love notes to me the day we met?
His sensuous breath carried love’s arrows
and my heart became yours without regret. 
You must have heard the whispers he had let
for you softly stroked the hair from my face,
and never since, have we left love’s embrace.

Our love grows stronger as the days pass by.
Children and grandchildren all on their own, 
we once more snuggle into a shared sigh.
Our days together bountifully sown,
those we have left admittedly on loan.
Yet you softly stroke the hair from my face,
sealing our days’ end with Anteros’ grace.

Premium MemberGrandchildren

grandchildren weasel into heart wrinkles

smoothing, soothing, and loving

revitalizing you

Premium MemberIf I Am Taken Hostage

If I am ever taken hostage
I hope it’s by my grandchildren
They will take me to a park,
And make me swing and slide,
I will crazy laugh
And chase them down
Play and play
The best 
Day

Premium MemberGrandparents Are Raising Grandchildren

Grandparents are raising grandchildren all over the world.
And especially in America.
Because their children
Could not 
Or
Would not
Or
Did not want to.
Some of their children are on drugs.
Others are just plain selfish.
I am so thankful that I get to be a grandma,
With all of the grandma privileges to my
Own grandchildren.
It is so much easier than being a parent.

Premium MemberSnake Pops Up

Snake pops up out of dead leaf pile.
Grandchildren scream.
Grandma picks up snake, a garter, not a python.
Puts snake on her lap, begins singing a "snakey song".
Everyone's in line, wanting the next turn.
All fear gone.

Premium MemberMy Grandchildren Know Me Too

One time after an especially fun Grandma Cousin Camp Week
Where Grandpa was in hiding for 7 days, and 8 grandchildren and I did whatever
we please,
There was a bit of pouting
That it had to come to an end.
My oldest granddaughter, whom I will refer to as EM,
the wisest of the wise, because she is 4 years older
and terribly smart said,
"You know how you guys like to have a friend over?"
There was lots of nodding and yesing because we all love Em.
"Well, Grandma is having a friend over," she explained.
"It's GRANDMA!" 
They all got in the car
and waved good-bye,
Fully understanding
now.
