Unrecognized Growth

by Joan

My grandkids say I’ve mastered

the damsel in distress look

 but what they don’t know

is how hard I had to work

to drop the leave me alone,

I can to do it myself look

that I mastered at age two.

    Funny, Joan. My mom used to say that beginning at two my mantra was “I can do it myself, Mommy!” Like minds, I guess. 🙂
