Baby-Sitting Now

Once they aren’t babies,

Are we baby-sitting, still?

We watch them and some necessary

Jobs we do fulfill.

 

The back and forth to school, the meals,

The homework and, of course,

The after-school activities

Which parents do endorse.

 

We show up when we’re needed

And do all that we are asked,

Including going places where

We’re distanced and we’re masked.

 

There isn’t lots of sitting

And they’ve left their baby phase –

Guess grand-kids watchers might be

A more fitting modern phrase.
