Boo's Kids

I called her Boo when she was very young. In fact, when she got to be an adult, I was still calling her this childhood pet name. I saw her kids today and I was reminded how old I am

 

Boo’s Kids

Barely saw them, I didn’t know

Oh how big kids do grow

Once I too was just a little tot

Same as them, now what have I got

Kind words and failed dreams

Incontinence and muzzled screams

Didn’t think that I will ever be

So old that children would call me granny
