Wise Women
I was dreaming I was a child and sitting at my little desk. My grandmothers were on either side of me. They were teaching me. Grandma B was teaching me how to be practical and how to survive on my own. Grandma C was teaching me how to be polite and domestic. They both made me feel loved and safe. I always knew they would protect me, I always knew I could come to either of them with a question.
In my twenties I traveled the world and loved every minute of it. In my thirties I had children and knew I had it all. In my forties I sang to each grandmother on her deathbed and was proud to be with each great lady as she left this world for whatever is beyond.
I wonder what lays ahead for me in my fifties.
