A Dear Like a Deer

 A Dear Like a Deer

Like a mother doe, Grandma watches over her “fawns” as they play on the lawn.

After lunch of Spaghetti-o’s, she brings out the Legos,

Which become a base in the four-year-old’s imagined outer space.

She’s always attentive to signs of grandchildren restive.

When the young boys are, she gives them opportunities to create art,

Producing paper and crayons for them to draw on.

Or, for the eight-year-old, a phone to play games on, for awhile, alone.

To her grandkids it’s clear, she’s truly a dear.

She puts a smile on their young mugs, then they return her love with heart-felt hugs.

It’s true glee for this ol’ buck…uh Grandpa... to see!
