Work worn
Car weary
traffic tired
made more
than worthwhile–
by chubby arms
outstretched,
toddling steps,
toward
Grandma.

Love this! Yes, I imagine those “toddling steps” make so many things worthwhile.
“Toddling steps toward Grandma.” I love the way you broke this up so it even looks and sounds like a toddler’s footsteps. So good!
I’ve been exploring poetry sites and resources as I get ready for April (National Poetry month) and a unit on poetry writing. Your poem is so perfect!!! I can’t wait to share it with my class, especially because they have met you, the poet!
Wow–thank you. I’m glad you can use it!
