Grandmother to Isaiah in the time of COVID
I began to write about
the losses
what hasn’t been
doesn’t happen
but words didn’t come
no
I am enriched by this child
this gift
he is with me
inside me
I hear his giggles without hearing
I feel his skin without touching
my love reaches him
because he is my grandson
my grandson
we will find our own way
we are one
soul to soul
a direct unbreakable line
spirit to spirit
core to core
never will I leave him
that is not possible
we are
and ever will be
