Grandbabies
I think of Hannah of the Bible
who had competition
from her husband’s other wife
who ridiculed her for being barren.
Her husband said, “Don’t I
mean more to you than ten sons?”
Hannah begged God for a baby
in such a way the priest
thought she was drunk.
So if you see me at church
and think I’m inebriated
I’m just begging God for grandbabies.
I love my husband and children
but they don’t fill the bill
for ten grandchildren.
