Notes About The Poem

So Much I'll Miss

I am so blessed to have great-grandchildren.
Four generations now upon our tree;
three girls- age four, one and a half, nine weeks.
How fortunate to have them now to see.

But, something I did not expect to feel;
my mind now dwelling on my last days when-
if even blessed to live one hundred years-
the three of them- just teenagers by then.

These gifts, for certain, God has given me;
was graced to see my children- theirs too, know.
But now, these younger ones grant little time
for me to love- watch them mature and grow.

My years now steer to life's finality;
Such painful thoughts I've come to realize.
As great grand-mom- the time is flying fast;
so much I'll miss- abrupt or late demise.

But, I must grasp my life as nearly full-
enjoying them for just a little while;
more empty if they never graced my world!
So, thank you, God- for brightening my smile!
