Leave it to me
I am getting old,
I cannot see clearly,
I need help for doing things,
My hand shakes ,
no coordination in my hand,
Every time I need to call
my grandchild to help me,
in getting things,
One day, I was very upset,
I was trying to stitch my skirt,
The hem is come off,
I need to thread the needle,
I cannot do it because i cannot see,
My hands does not listen to me,
I tried and tried for ten minutes,
I was disappointed and felt sad,
Then I saw my granddaughter
coming to the room,
She asked me what is wrong?
I told her that I could not
thread the needle and I cannot stitch,
She asked me, How many times I need
to tell you to leave it up to me,
I will do it for you, and please
do not struggle and keep you unhappy.
when i am here you can leave it up to me,
and you can be happy and
that is what I like to see.
She then took everything from me,
and stiched it for me, In return I
Give her a kiss with a smile
on my face and said thank you.
She smiled and said this is
whatI like to see in your face all the time.

This is a true story. i struggle for little things because of my old age, My angelic grandchild help me all the time. I wanted to be independent and try to do things. Whenever she is in the house she keeps an eye on me and try to help me saying leave it to me. I will do it for you.She is a lovely child and I am very proud of her.
