An Ode
Women
An ode to women
The ones that carry us
The ones that raise us
The ones that care for us
The ones that support us
The ones that picked us up when we fell down
Moms, nanas, meemaws, grannies, mimis
So many names for the first ones who loved us
The women of our family
Are the reason for our survival
They guide so we do not fail
But when we do they are still there....

Needs
A runny nose needs tissues.
A hungry mouth needs food.
A bottom needs a diaper change
Whenever it has pooed.
In winter, hands need mittens.
In snow, feet need some boots.
These aren't up for maybes;
They are, rather, absolutes.
A sleepy face needs naptime.
A bored one needs a game
Or book or song or puzzle
For distraction is the aim.
A bath requires bubbles.
A bare floor needs a rug;
But nanas (also grandpas)
Don't need much besides a hug....

Tea Party
The 4 year olds were all invited
For a cup of tea,
Though whether they will drink it
Is a mystery to me.
A get-together after school,
With only girls allowed,
Seems like a perfect setting
For the ballet-dancing crowd.
The babysitter runs the show
With toys and games and snacks
So all the moms and nanas
Have some time to just relax.
Though calling it a tea party
Brings Alice to my mind,
In modern lingo, I would guess
It's differently defined....

Not Ready
Beaches are open and golf courses, too.
Neighbors are meeting for barbecue.
Barbers are snipping like they used to do
But I’m quarantining at home.
Nanas and grandpas are visiting kin.
Sports venues say they’re prepared to begin.
Sunbathers slather their pale indoor skin
While within my apartment I roam.
Restaurants keep tables a distance apart.
Museums let patrons with masks look at art.
So many are ready for life to restart
As I sit here, inside, with my poem....

Kindergarten
My grandson started kindergarten;
This is school day 4.
My job was simply walking him
Up to the entry door.
With his backpack on my shoulder
We strolled slowly, holding hands
And I felt the kind of feelings
Every Nana understands -
That the years have flown too quickly!
Wasn't it just yesterday
When I rocked him to accompany
A lullaby's soft sway?
At the school he grabbed his backpack,
Slung it over like a pro
And I faded to the background,
Where all Nanas need to go....
