Dear Paul, you capture the rapture of grandparents injected with the youth serum that only playing with their grandchildren can bring. Delightful, wonderful and heartwarming poetry! I adore the zesty imagery and the carefree feeling of the last line. You are the master of impactful last lines that leave lingering impressions. Warmest wishes and hugs my inspiring friend.. ~Susan
