Grandma Rocking

One of my first poems

Needed at least one hug today

Validation needed in something you might say

God help my grandson be okay

Reach down and heal his broken spirit if you may

 

Agony being felt by me

Longing to hold him on my knee

But the time is gone it can no longer be

How can I help him recover to be able to see

About adult grandson who has found out he has Huntington's Disease

Reviews

[Christina May Shanaberg]

This is such a sad poem about the helpless feeling we have, when we can't make it all better for someone we love; all we can do is hope, pray, and comfort them, as well as we can. It was well written and stirred the emotions.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is sad and beautiful. The wise grandmother pray and wish for her grandson to understand and be Ok. Our elders suffer more then we realize. They do not want us to suffer and feel pain.
A outstanding poem.

I like this one because there is an entire universe of caring in this brief poem. The rhymes are well done.
