New Grandmother
A generation older I became,
And yet so young, she did the same.
What once I knew subconsciously
She'll have to learn so patiently.
But looking back, it went so fast.
Could it be those years are passed?
With my turn done and hers begun,
Is the battle ever won?
Now today a mantle given
For her a standard risen.
Where I left off, she will start,
But successfully did I do my part?
What I didn't, she will achieve.
What she will know, I just believed.
We both accept new names today.
We both use them in a clumsy way.
Yet watching her hold her little one,
Yes, the battle is being won!
Her hands will be soft and sure.
I can tell, just to see her.
Happy Mothers' and Grandmothers' Day!
Thank you all that you do!
With much love,
RaeAnna
