The sun has just outstretched its arms far and wide into the sky
The rays of the sky greet the clouds with a subtle high five
The day has begun for the world
but not mine
My world doesn't begin until I hear pitter patter on the floor
My own personal parrot is awake "Wake up, daddy" is what he speaks to me faithfully
I oblige
no matter the day before, no matter the amount of sleep I lack, no matter the brain cells I feel didn't quite regenerate right because I don't give them enough time to replenish and come back
Catering to his every whim because he's only two and yes he looks to be the size of 3 going on to 33 but I have to cater to his needs after all I am daddy and he is my baby... no matter the headaches, no matter the heartaches, he's never a mistake but sometimes daddy needs a break
Enter "Grandmommy"
Grandmommy is the woman amongst boys
Grandmommy opens the blinds and she smiles brighter than the sun
The birds chirp giving that million dollar smile applause
I applaud even louder
Cause when daddy needs a break, I can count on her
She takes personal parrot baby and whisks him away to their own little personal place
Filled with play for him, and some Mary J. (Blige) for her
She teaches, disciplines, and raises him just like she did me
She never ceases to amaze our little family tree
Because personal parrot baby goes from awake and running rapidly to way too tired and just wants to sleep
I ask her all the time what's the secret?, how does she have such great luck?
The only answer I ever receive is "Grandma's Touch"
