There was a time,
Not that long ago,
When I was a younger,
Slimmer, less wrinkled, less gray,
Version of me, now!
As we shared this lovely tale
Of reading to family
The other day,
One of my kindergartners
Offered excitedly,
"She looks just like you!"
"Did you write this book?
She asked with a smile!
"I wish I had," I commented,
"But I am very busy listening to
My readers, like you!"
"I am a reader" she smiled
Rewriting the page as she read,
"I can read to Mrs. Ferreri
Who looks just like this!"
I'm pretty lucky
To have shared
Many wonderful
Reading journeys
Where I was an
Auntie, Mom,
Long ago,
Perhaps the
"Cool, young" teacher.
I'm fortunate
To have shared
Enough magical
Reading journeys
To qualify me as
Grandmotherly
A title I proudly wear!

Ha! Yes, wear your 'grandmotherly' label proudly. You earned it.
What a great moment ...and a great badge to wear proudly, too!
