Notes About The Poem

Letting Go

Letting Go

Letting go...sometimes it happens twice,
Eventually, as life does cast its dice. 
The little ones we raised flew from the nest,
Though for sure, the time we shared was blessed.
Into our lives there came the second chance;
New little ones to share our lives, enhance
Grandparent's joy to love; lives interspersed.

Gift of second chance soon followed first...
Off they fly, now grown, new paths dispersed.



How quick the years go by when we
find joys we think will never pass.
Although they do, we happily
accept the new ones we amass.

     
joys of parenthood
relived with young grandchildren;
next joys...their success
