Twelve Years Ago

Twelve years ago today, I sat

In a garden, where the birds

Chirped and frolicked in the fountain;

I was waiting for the words

 

Which would let me know that I’d become

A nana to a boy

And making room within my heart

For some never-ending joy.

 

No matter what you hear or read,

There is no way to know

How a grandchild stakes his claim on you

And never lets it go.

 

Of course, that’s if you’re lucky,

And the way things have unfurled,

I’m among the very luckiest

Of nanas in the world!
