CAN WE TALK ABOIT THE GRANDKIDS!?
Thoughts from Grandma Judi/ aka Meemaw
dedicated to Brandon, Hannah, Hudson and Hettie
In their eyes I can see traces
Of those that came before
A remnant of a twinkle
A peak through heavens door
In them I feel the future
Of what may come to be
The things we cannot dream of
That will be theirs to see
Through them my children's laughter
Echoes once again
The chaos and the clammer
That I knew way back when
It all went by so quickly
My babies now are grown
They know the joy of parenthood
With children of their own
No mere words of poetry
Can possibly impart
How those that call me grandma
Reach in and touch my heart

A Grandma’s Prayer - In the midst of a Pandemic
I want their world to be sunshine and lightAnd give them sweet dreams throughout the night
I want them safe all through the day
Protected from whatever comes their way
I want them happy, innocent and free
To know that they can count on me
That I’ll be right there by their side
If they have a secret to confide
I love their laughter and candid truth
I marvel at the wisdom of their youth
I want all their problems to disappear
So they’ll be strong and free from fear
I hope that all their dreams come true
And wish them joy in all they do
To run and play - to laugh and love
And be blessed forever by G-d above
