Growing Old

One day I hope to grow old and wise, 
Spend all day just eating pies. 
I’d love to hold my grandchildren tight 
Read them bedtime stories at night.

The tables will turn as I age each day, 
Maybe again I’ll be able to just chill and play. 
My kids can get their wish from me 
They’ll make the rules in their homes, you see.

I can take long naps throughout each day, 
Or take a cruise to the U.S.A. 
I’d love to travel as much as I can 
Be a really cool travelling Gran.

I’m really looking forward to growing old and seeing what the future will hold.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
