It’s boring hanging out at Mom and Dad’s delicatessen Lots of construction workers come in to buy sandwiches for lunch so my parents don’t have time for me My grandma has time But she only speaks German And I don’t
Grandma shrugs and smiles as she waits for me by the door Grandma and I are going out I say Where to Uri Mom asks Where to Grandma I ask turning toward her But she’s already out the door so off I go too
Where does Grandma want to go Ah of course the beach I take her hand as we head toward the sparkling sand There it is The great blue sea of Tel Aviv Fishermen are casting their lines into the water Too bad we can’t go swimming it’s wintertime now
Grandma gazes out into the distance What is she thinking about The house where she grew up The friends she knew long ago
