I stroked her hair as she closed her eyes
Then put her big story book away
How easy to love my granddaughter
When with fairy tales or dolls I play
I feast my eyes on her as she sleeps
Then return to daughters dining room
More juice? Son in law now says to me
Waving bottle in hand; I say nay
She's little now but the day will come
When no doubt more wrinkled I shall be
When with luck she'll want to play with us
Plates cleared for games like Cheat or Rummy

There is nothing more adorable than small grandchildren.........it sounds like a lovely family gathering, Robin.
ReplyDeleteOh, how delightful. You had me entering right into this tender scene with you.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit of serendipity - we both posted pieces that speak to how easy it is to love our little grandchildren.
