Love Song to My Grandkids
Dear Grandchildren,
The day you were born
my life changed
to the better –
again, and again,
with the arrival
of each one of you
Just as it had changed
so completely,
so incredibly,
so wonderfully,
when your mother
and your father,
respectively,
first came to me
seemingly out of
nowhere –
and suddenly
my small, petty,
mediocre,
confining world
burst wide open
to let in a miracle,
the only one I was
ever really capable
to personally perform
but what a great
one it was then –
and it is now
