For My Nonna
Dedicated my Nonna Maria, 94 years old
How lucky was that I should fall upon your lap?
How amazing you are too
If I had my way
Every day I'd always choose you
You didn't have to look
You didn't have to save me
I love you my Nonna
Ti voglio bene.
Right or wrong
Please stand strong,
because in spite of my age
I'm still your baby
I love you the world
My Nonna
Ti voglio bene.
Key Words:
Nonna - Grandma In Italian
Ti voglio bene - The way you say I love you to members of your family in Italian. NOT to be confused with Ti amo which also means I love you, but Ti amo should be used to express romantic love to someone.

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.
