Grandma

Mints appeared like
Hat-liberated rabbits,
Slipped to restless toddlers
During long-winded sermons.

Granddaddy

"That's my baby girl,"
Bounced off knees.
"Here buy you a li'l somethin'."
Wide-brimmed hats.

Ma

Lotioned hands softened tears.
Back hand threatened,
Back hand threatened.
Rock of Gibraltar, Lazarus, Cross-bearing resilience.

Daddy
