It's been so long since love like this
So flooded, filled my heart.
I bit back tears to kiss his face
Today as we did part.
My Precious Love, My Grandson,
The bearer of my hope.
Pride swells within and fills me so
I think that I might choke.
So tough and manly, never cries
Although he winced at touch.
"What's wrong?" I asked at his pained look.
"I love you very much!"
"Hut me," he said in baby talk.
"What hurt you?" was my quest.
He showed me then his "boo boo",
I was angry I confess.
A round and ugly sore he bore
In the middle of his palm.
I recognized a burn at once,
And almost lost my calm.
"Hut me," he said, "tiggawette"
The rage inside me rose.
"Who hurt you, Baby?" I persued,
And kissed him on his nose.
"Mama hut me, tiggawette,"
He pointed to the sore.
If that child shows me ONE MORE "BOO BOO",
I'll beat her butt for sure!!
~~~~~~
Oh that is so sad! Did she really burn him with a cigarette?
I hope you took a picture, just in case anything else shows up.
She better be ready to run too, cause Grandma's gonna get her for sure!
