The Joy of Children
My Grandkids had a sleep over with me
we had such fun colouring and drawing
they are so delightful and lovely boys
we watched Nat geo wild a while
They were fascinated seeing the animals
loved watching the Osprey feeding his chicks
ten fish a day he had to catch to feed them all
Ryan said what a busy bird but he kept one for himself
This morning we watched the Moray eels
as they swam around the wrecked ship
and a rare sight of them courting so gently
and saw the little Elvers swim away to sea
Means I was not able to write last night
or even to comment on others poems
at two, five and six they kept me very busy
soon they will go home with my daughter
They asked can we sleep over again nana
we really like it at your home it's so fun
bless their little souls so innocent still
they brought much joy and happiness
I will feel rather blue when their mum
comes to take them back home
the house will seem so empty
without their laughter echoing
