Hello everyone,
i am doing this contest because
it seems that everyone has a AP mom, dad, etc.
but very few have grandparents. And so i figured it would be fun to get a
Grandma and Grandpa.
Anything is allowed because i love all kind of poems.
Oh yeah, i almost forgot if you could please put in the authors note section if you
are writting to become my Ap Grandma or Ap Grandpa.
thank you

I am sending you this poem written in the persona of a grandmother. However, I do not have much rapport for the idea of Allpoetry "families". I have very little time - and a great deal of work to get through.
Moreover, I deduce from the way you write that you live in the USA. I have visited there many times - but the most recent was over 20 years ago. And although I find much to admire about your country - I find various aspects of its ethos and beliefs, particularly as they relate to personal relationships and behaviour, VERY strange.
So I do not feel I could reasonably give you the kind of Grandmotherly advice you are presumably seeking.
But I must say it is refreshing to find someone in the USA who perceives the importance of grandparents.
Margaret Mead, the sociologist wrote somewhere that a major cause of family problems in the USA began when school-teachers, trying to integrate immigrant children to the "American way of life" - in effect encouraged them to mock their parents' imperfect English and to refuse to listen to grandparents' tales of "how it was in the old country".
I do not have the specialized knowledge to know whether she was correct - however, she was deemed a great expert.
Good luck to you! -
ok so now you're giving me "parents" lmao I'm not sure my AP mom would like that. Naw, she's wonderful and good luck with your contest "Lil one"
