Hard To Be a Grandma

Quatrain Poem (ABAB)

You are so beautiful to me

I love you more than you could know

Your smile so cute and sweet I see

When it’s not there I worry so

So young and trapped in misery

Too much sorrow amidst your life

I only hope God sets you free

And hope he wipes away your strife

There’s nothing I can do for you

Dear Lord, please hold his hand today

Right now, my heart breaks right in two

My baby’s hurt with tragedy

To be a grandma is so hard

All I can do is watch and pray

My tears today I must discard

They do not help, please stay at bay

I am a mother, retired foster mother, grandmother, and last, but not least, an author. I have self-published a children's book of rhymes, titled, A Rhyme In Time for ages five and up. I also wrote articles for Suite101, and had some short stories published in a local paper. At present, I am in a new phase in life once again. I hope to spend more time reading accompanied by Goodreads, write daily on my blog, and read other people's works of art. I also love photography and want to share some of my part of the world, along with travelling experiences.
