Grandchildren Are the Future

They say grandchildren are the future to see Watching them grow has been special to me We laughed with the good and cried at the bad, But felt every emotion of happy and sad. I have three grandchildren special to me Special in their own ways as they may be, One at a time they’d stay at my place, So I’d be sure, to put up my vase. Two have grown into a young adult Except for one, who’s still as a teen? They’re more helpful, and like to clean, So to all, I’d like to share my result. The grandchildren, their children will be the future Of what we were, a long time ago And be able to flow, with the knowledge to grow.

Another nice write, but this does not qualify as an "acrostic". If you want to see an example of one, check out my submission "The Midwest Boy Killer".

Thanks for your comment but how would I change it from acrostic to rhyming or whichever it's supposed to be?
