Those golden years, the children growing up
          Blessed with three of them
                    Each a special gem
     Those days of joy, some tears, filled up our cup
               Years so full and rife                  
                         Came into our life
          My, those years went fast...so soon an empty nest
                    Can’t hold on to past, but how those years were blessed

                              Our precious gifts...from love.


They flew away...such quiet filled our days
          Spent our time with friends
                    Company amends
     The kids sought dreams; we lifted them with praise
               Missing them, yet pleased
                         Time to feel appeased
          More years went by, behold!  Second chance to spend
                    Our time again with babes...with new joys attend

                              Our precious gifts...from love.


We cherished each and watched them grow and play
          Sweet grandkids of five
                    Certainly did thrive
     Helped shape and teach them in our special way
               But, those years went fast
                         Can’t hold on to past 
          Soon the time flew by...an empty nest once more
                    Now, their turn to spread their wings, the world explore

                              Our precious gifts...from love.


An empty nest, twofold!  New lonely days
          We applaud with cheers 
                    Twice our golden years
     They seek their dreams...we lift them up in praise
               Cherished life we spent
                         With them, heaven sent
          How those years flew by; another empty nest
                    Can’t hold on to past, but how those years were blessed
                              We, as parents, grandparents, fulfilled our quest.

                                        Our precious gifts...from love...


               Both nests...now, emptied of.
