Gram

WineNSarcasm:
Scurry down the hallway
Sh ! Don't make a sound
Tiptoe 'round the corner
Is anyone around ?

There sits Gramma in her chair
Lost in all her thoughts
Her eyes still closed and half asleep
Her hair is all in knots !

I stare at her for just a time
Deciding which to choose
Will I be a Dinosaur
Or a cow that moos ?

Slowly creep. Now I'm close
Gram don't see me there
Leaping high and giggling loud
I leap upon her chair !

She wakes abrupt and starts to laugh
I kiss and hug her neck
"You scared me so, you little mouse
Look ! I'm such a wreck !"

"I'm hungry, Gram, please feed me now ?"
I cry so pitifully
She hugs me tight and begs me "Come
You'll be great help to me"

Flour is poured into the bowl
Milk and eggs go, too
Pancakes in the making
Enough for just us two

Afterward we wash our hands
She makes me comb my hair
For I am off to school today
I dress without a care

As time grows short she shouts to me
I run as fast as can
Puts on my coat and kisses me
"I love you, silly, Gram !"

angpd: very nice read, thanks

WineNSarcasm: "Thank You very much for commenting" This is a true story of me and my youngest Grandson.

windswptwords: This is precious

WineNSarcasm: "Thank You" and yes...yes he is !

ConservatorErik: This reminds me so much of Evvie and I... but also of my own early days, with a very special person who acted as both substitute parent and grandparent... the love speaks through.

WineNSarcasm: That is so nice ! Every family should have one of these little ones running about *
