At Grandma’s Knee

016 - Copy

At Grandma’s knee, I don’t hear waves crashing or even blood pulsing;

I don’t hear drums of war or reports of carjackings and drug busts.

At Grandma’s knee, there are no break-ins, no nuclear threats, and no conservative and liberal pontificating;

I don’t hear storms coming or earthquakes rolling or the pounding of tidal surf.

At Grandma’s knee, there is a momentary place of rest

and the soft sound of love.  And that’s enough.
