Little Things

Grandma, 
Sounds like 'mam mar'

The day you first pronounced that word
You crowned me,
Giving me the best title I'd ever heard 

'Grandma', 
You say this with some passion
Sometimes in almost desperate fashion
As if you need to be rescued 

When this word is most used,
You're waiting to be scooped up 
And may have recently refused
To comply 

You and I 
A new duo 
Me and Juno

When I go out of a room
I hear you
'Mam mar'
Not wanting to be left out
Of whatever adventure I'm on

Because yes, when we are together
Every small thing we do, whatever 
is a special occurrence 
a big new experience 
A happening
With you, there are no little things
