Or does it just feel that way?

Being at home and somewhat housebound with more energy returning every day has enabled me to explore some corners of the house which have been neglected. Today I came across a couple of poems from a magazine called "Good Times". I can't remember where or when I came across this magazine, but whenever that was I tore (stole) this page of poems out, and tucked it away. With thanks to Carol A. Cole of Surrey, B.C., here is the first one.

A Grandmother's Paradise

Celtic flute music floats from the kitchen
and the sweet smell of pancakes is promising.
A gentle summer breeze enters through the open door.
I can see the wild orange and yellow poppies
growing against the neighbour's house.
My little grandson is asleep on my lap,
his head nestled against my chest.
Am I in heaven
or does it just feel that way?

The second one will follow in time, but it is totally different, and I want those who read this blog to appreciate this one fully first. I know you can understand why I took it home with me!

Lovely. Your grandson over here loves you so much & will always snuggle on your lap any day!

I think he would rather dance. He doesn't seem to be much into snuggling! Too busy and too nosy.
