Nokomis’ Song

I am proud

to be your

Nokomis

a loving Grandma.

******

One night,

is all ours

to snuggle

and enjoy our time.

******

Movies,

snacks,

snuggles

and laughs.

******

Wears you down

and night’s

sleep creeps in

and we go to bed.

******

Nokimis is

the big spoon,

you the

little one.

******

baby hums,

asking for

Nokomi’s song

to fall asleep too.

******

Worn out Nokomis’

hugs him tight

safe and secure

She sings to him sweeetly.

******

A deep sigh,

the song sung

a second time

until he’s fast asleep.

******

Nokomis says,

”Noki loves you”,

giving love

at the close of a day.

******

A full night

of restful sleep,

a groggy baby

emerge for his snuggles.

******

A warm Nokomis,

cuddly blanket,

a gentle rock,

as Nokomis sings again.

******

Off key,

on key,

you don’t care

you just listen…

to Nokomis’ song to start your day.
