Walking With Grandma
We like to walk with Grandma,
Her steps are short like Ours,
She doesn’t say, Now Hurry Up
She always takes her time.
We like to walk with Grandma,
Her eyes see things like Ours do…
Wee pebbles shining, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.
Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop and see.
We are glad that God made Grandma
Unrushed and young like us.
