The Tender Years

When are the tender years, the young ones or the old? It really must be both of them, from everything I’ve been told Love and nurture the very young, so they can their dreams fulfil Love and look after the older ones, they have their dreams still. Tenderness is needed for every girl and boy Tenderness for our older ones who can still give so much joy Tenderness to a babe in arms, but what tenderness we can show While sitting with our older ones, give them tenderness watch them glow. Smooth a damp curl of sweet smelling hair on little child’s head Smooth the wrinkle from a brow, of someone older ill in bed Both will react with love and show tenderness back to you The tender years are all our lives so lets be tender to each other too. © ~GG~ 21/12/2102
