The how-to's of surviving parenting the second-time around.

 Grand-Mothers Fears 

 People may see our years 
 but seldom our tears 
and fears 
As we watch the wee ones grow. 
 We love and nurture 
 the children of our  children. 
 we hope and we pray 
 that the lessons of love 
and kindness 
and honor 
and responsibility 
 will flourish in their lives 
 Forever. 
 We pray Dear Lord 
that they will not be overtaken 
 by the weeds of the world 
 like their parents 
who we once held to our breasts 
and gave the lessons of love 
and kindness 
and honor 
and responsibility 
 We are older 
but are we wiser 
and stronger. 
Can we change the tides 
and keep history from repeating itself
