Granddad Join Us

His 
eyes gleamed
like blue pearls
when children cried
Granddad please join us as they dashed around
the glowing ember fireplace with such glee.
A warm embrace
adds cheer to
Mother’s 
shroud.

NB Lady in photo background could be children’s mother.
Loving parents have this shroud which radiates goodwill.
They also know when to let grandparents get involved.
