Her face has seen six decades<\/p>\n
with freckles in the first ten years<\/p>\n
that life eventually covered.<\/p>\n
Those teen years survived the popping of zits<\/p>\n
and make-up, and dripping of “Dippity-Do.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Motherhood years brought a broken nose,<\/p>\n
falling on a snowy concrete step,<\/p>\n
but she saved that tummy full of baby.<\/p>\n
The next decade of her children’s teen years<\/p>\n
brought worries and demands and a few gray hairs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The grandma stage has a slower pace<\/p>\n
it wears smiles — and other looks if needed —<\/p>\n
through storytelling, and lesson sharing.<\/p>\n
They just love to hear what Mom or Dad did<\/p>\n
that made Grandma smile or laugh or give them trouble.<\/p>\n
