I  am rejuvenated when
N ear their boundless 
E nergy and sparkle.

Oh, your poem is such a delight, Jean. I loved the loving, spirited spirit of your poem. My beloved Mom was the same way with her grandchildren as she helped me and my siblings with raising our young families. Your poem brings back beautiful memories. Loving moms and grandmoms are a cherished gift. Congratulations with your wonderful recognition in the contest. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Hello Susan and thank you for your lovely comments. I am a granny still gearing up to go. No sign of any bumps in my own babies just yet.

Thank you Ilene. In fact, I am still a granny in waiting. Jokingly (of course) I tell them now a one night stand will do me!
