"Grandma’s Sugar" by T’Ajah Beavers


A special kind of love, 

a love that you won’t find anywhere else

a laughter, as soft as tears 

warm like the sunshine 

and as quiet as a mouse 

a home away from home


The aroma of Sunday dinner 

fills the air and travels the block

and could make the saddest souls smile


A superwoman is what she is,

so dependable and strong

makes sure the house is nice and clean

and that everyone’s belly is singing tunes


Early mornings when the birds are singing,

we love to get breakfast together

the neighborhood bagel shop 

that offers the warmest and softest bagels

a hot coffee for her

a warm tea for me

the best part is when we sit down 

watch tv and eat


Broadway, 

so many things to see and do 

the memorial close by 

shows memories that are so special

and a time that changed history 


Friendly neighbors to share many things with, 

friendships that are like circles

they seem to never end 


An atmosphere that makes you feel sky high,

a love you will not get anywhere else

grandma’s love 

grandma’s home

and grandma's sugar

“They're On The Front Lines, So You Can Enjoy Your TikTok Times” by Jasmine Wren

Out there every day saving lives From little children to husbands and wives, Out there on the front lines,  Just trying to push through these hard times. New graduates running straight to hospital  Providing services that are vital, Young and old each taking a turn, Working so long, till their eyes burn Some are mothers and fathers  Hoping they don't endanger their sons and daughter Fearful for their lives and others  Standing up to ignorant protesters Bruises all around their face  Yet they still work another case Grateful for all they do  Constantly working to save me and you

"My Most Faithful Supporter" by Anonymous

Months into quarantine and my mom is still  Giving motivation for everyone at the house To be productive and finish work I ask myself these three questions everyday Will I graduate? Is it worth it to spend over 4 hours on a computer a day? Do I even have a chance to graduate? Here goes my mom to encourage me Motivate me Enlighten me Uplift me My mom is the reason why I get up every morning To 20 notifications on google classroom  And actually decide to do it It feels like I'm being bombarded all at once with the assignments. Thanks for being my supporter at all times
