She's got mine!
Serenity sat with me this morning,
reached for my clipboard of notes and blank paper.
Awkwardly holding the mechanical pencil
in her left hand,
made stabs and swipes at the college rule:
the scribbles are getting bolder.
Fingering the letters of my name
printed and taped to the metal clip,
I explain she is of a select few
who call me Grandpa.
Gazing at the work of her hand
she wraps her arms around the stiff board
and hugs the page to her tiny chest.
