Grandchildren On Their Way
It is 3:18. The grandchildren are on their way.
I recognize that grandchildren feeling!
My heart leaps as if we have gone down a giant roller coaster.
This anticipatory feeling could be described in 1426 ways,
Yet no missive – poem, story or song would do this feeling justice.
Words have not yet been invented that describe the plethora of feelings
reserved for the children of your children. They are your heart, your world.
Ultimate joy, unconditional love, new emotions oozing out of every pore.
Until you have one of your own, there is no way to fully understand.
Words have not yet been invented or used in any haiku or senryu
to describe the unique feelings that parade through your mind
in two thousand and eighteen new ways as you see them head toward you.
If these fabulous feeling words do exist, grandparents are keeping them secret, just one more hidden pact to share only with their adorable grandchildren.
Darlings who are so perfect, they dazzle their grandparents’ hearts out.
