Being Great Grandmother
By Judith Boatwright
I’ve always felt
as long as i can remember
that I had a story to share
and tell for many years,
holding back the tears
– not of sadness or dismay
but because I was given recently
the opportunity of becoming
a great-grandmother to the
most adorable pearl of a girl.
I now find myself in a maze
of pure joy
—even though it wasn’t a
bouncing baby boy.
I know now what my
true purpose is in this life
—despite all my strife
born to soar to the highest
altitude with an outstanding attitude,
given an extraordinary mind
beyond measure
making this woman of God
an awesome cherished treasure.
Judith T Boatwright, age 73, resides in Chester, VA. She is a 1969 graduate of Maury High, Norfolk, and the recipient of several poetic awards that are part of the Library of Congress.
