wild eyed pancakes
invented by grandma
two kernels of corn for eyes
delighting her grandchildren
sometimes a mistake makes the best memory

their children
and grandchildren
joyfully 
jumped--
touched ceilings
in homes

Premium Member Playing Favorites

I whisper 
To my grandchildren;
“you are my favorite”
“don’t tell the others”.
They chuckle
knowing it is true.

what are they, grandma?
I laugh
My grandchildren are serious?
I dig out my old phonograph player.
They are amazed.
Thinking it is a robot.
And I am a genius!

Premium Member Too Much of a Good Thing

It’s great to see family on Christmas Day
To watch the grandchildren so joyful and gay
But next day I put my feet up and I say
Boy, am I glad that they didn’t stay

Premium Member G Is For Gritty

Greasy grimy gritty grievances
grabbed grandma’s gleamingly glitzy glasses
Giving griping grousing grandchildren gruesome 
glimpses of Grandma’s gleaming glitzy glasses.

Premium Member Proof I Am Alive Today

smells of lilac and roses
taste of cinnamon and lemon
love for my grandchildren

feeling velvet, silk, and scratchy lace
my best friend laughing like a donkey
proof of life

Virtual Relationships

Don’t hook up with a ‘girl’ from a chat room
Might have five children and even grandchildren…
Wearing long beard and smoke-filled pajamas
Cussing like sailor and farting like donkey.

I wish to find that lost sock

To not say that “stupid thing”

For butterflies and grandchildren

A peace filled sunrise

I wish wishes came true

Grandma is wearing a sweatshirt featuring Darth Vader.
It says, “This is my Dark Side.”
I did not know grandma had a dark side, one of her grandchildren said.
Grandpa burst out laughing.

Location Location Location

Here in this dead zone.
No cell phone reception
no WiFi,
grandchildren refuse
to come over.

Who knew when I bought
this house all those years ago,

It was in the ideal location.

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

Tuesday I learn to walk 
Wednesday I become man 
Thursday I am married 
Friday I become a father
Saturday I see my grandchildren
Sunday I go to meet my maker, the Creator…

Tuesday I learn to walk 
Wednesday I will become a man

Friday I’ll become a father 
Saturday I see my grandchildren 
Sunday I meet my maker

Mothers Day

As we gather to honor our mothers
grandchildren, sisters, and brothers
we share a last name
so it seems a shame
that none of us looks like the others

Premium Member ENJOY EVERY MOMENT

May we be blessed 
to enjoy every moment we can with our children 
and our grandchildren
enjoy every moment….before…
We turn around one day and realize…
they are not children or grandchildren any more.

Premium Member EVERY STEP

Since the day of their birth…and the time they learned to walk…
As I’ve watched my children and grandchildren grow each day
I’m grateful I’ve been able to enjoy 
every step 
they’ve taken along the way.

Grandchildren

Oh what joy my grandchildren deploy.

Hugs, giggles and kisses,
They are my untold riches.

Curious questions and sweet confections,

Grandma, what is that bird in the tree?
Do you have more candy for me?

Pictures From the Past

Pictures from the past, 
must be treasured, stored, and kept to last.
For each tells a story about from whence we came,
so that our children, and grandchildren,
know what it means to bear their name.
