In the Eyes of My Grandchildren

No music nor color nor loveliness of earth tones grips my heart - like the eyes of my grandchildren no emotional emination - thrills me like the motion in their step I am elevated in their presence taking flight from their energy knowing all is theirs - because they believe it upon their leaving - I must ponder How to gather such wonder - as they are did I ever possess the power that radiates like the fire of certainty that all is only now That yesterday is past - tomorrow will wait to devour today with laughter and love Ahh - one time I did - I remember - I go there again every time I see - the eyes of my grandchildren

Aren't grand children great. Got 5 and one great grandson. They make the world go round. Vince

It is said that our children are our money but the grandchildren are the interest we earned of the money invested, Katy
