Vera Duggan Poet Rhyme

Oh, Those Picnics

Picnics can be so much fun
For my grandchildren and me
Sandwiches, cakes and orange juice
And for me a cup of tea

So off we set to our favourite spot
So near to the waters side
Fresh mowed grass we all sit on
In such pleasure, we abide

Noisy splashes, shrieks of joy
The make our day complete
Then lots of kids, they join us too
Oh everything, it feels so sweet

It brings me so much happiness
To see those children, laugh and play
To watch them having so much fun
Makes all my cares just float away

Paul Callus October 29, 2016 at 9:17 AM I'm pleased to be rereading this delightful poem, Vera! Watching children at play gives us elders a lot of satisfaction. Pity they grow up so quickly!! Best regards // paul Vera Duggan October 29, 2016 at 7:23 PM Hi Paul, thank you for your lovely comment, yes it is a pity they grow up but then it was a pity our own kids grew up, but as they say that is life, we still love them just as much and the other thing is we can have decent conversations with them so I suppose there is the good and the bad as in everything, regards to the family and take care.........Vera

Alexis Y. October 28, 2016 at 8:59 PM Hi Vera, It's so nice to see you. You have penned a beautiful scene. I love picnics too. What a joy it is to be surrounded by the ones we love and just enjoying life. Thanks for sharing this gem:-) Alexis Vera Duggan October 28, 2016 at 11:20 PM Hi Alexis, thank you so much for your lovely comment, yes picnics are great especially when the kids were little but now they are in their late teens and early 20's and I really don't think they would like having a picnic with Nan these days but we all still enjoy life when we are all together, hope you are well, take care.........Vera
