Planting Some Seeds

There's a reason that parents of toddlers, For the most part, are often quite young 'Cause the energy that they require Is the stuff of which odes should be sung. In a whirlwind of never-stop motion, They explore, they absorb and they learn; Though it's wonderful getting to join them, To our younger selves we can't return. So a grandparent lovingly caters To a grandchild's wants and his needs Hoping somehow, despite the exhaustion, The attention is planting some seeds. For with nurture and caring devotion, There will blossom a link that will keep, Which is worth all the time and the effort; Though it sure makes one yearn for some sleep!
