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.
