crops growing underneath sun;
Grandma's cooking; simple fun;
walks on the lane -

They trail out on top of the water
why do they not go in? asks grandchild

Grandparents are the best
They’ve had time
To get their act together
And now have quality time
To spend with grandkids

Grandma

When you mention
The word tough that's
What she was, a lion
She kept the family together
Strong, tough and in order
And when she roared, everyone listened

they were not just movers and shakers

Four and a half year old grandson
Climbs up my legs
Into my lap.
Lies down on me like a weighted blanket.
Arms around my neck.
I feel his heart beat.
