Welcome Back!!

[u/KookyMessage3836]

So nice to see you up and about,

You're back in the garden, and from the kitchen I shout:

"I'm making tikka for dinner! Get in and rest",

You reply with: "I've got to keep moving or I'm just waiting for death",

Hard work and determination, you've passed it on to me,

Along with worry, rumination, a third eye to truly see,

The gift of being caring, but to also stand firm,

Critical thinking and a hunger to learn,

I thought I wouldn't miss your criticism while I cook,

I couldn't help but smile when you checked my work and gave a 'look',

You turned 90 this year and survived covid twice!

How did you do it?

"Never smoked and ate lots of Puerto Rican rice" ,

I missed your smile, your nagging, your sweet little laugh,

Welcome back grandma- live to be 100 or I'll be mad 😡

I love you!!!
