Each time I see that pic I always start
to smile (we three are laughing on the stairs)
I love that little imp with all my heart
he elevates sheer cuteness to an art
with candid spurts of wonder he declares.
Each time I see that pic I always start
to feel the warmth his closeness can impart
and joy his playful grin innately shares.
I love that little imp with all my heart,
so much, without him near it tends to smart
and then the need for pointless crying flares,
each time I see that pic I always start
the salty, sentimental tears are tart
a burden that my doting gladly bears,
I really love that imp with all my heart.
I hope that I have somehow done my part
assuring him that someone out there cares
each time I see our pic I always start
to feel a grandpa's love within my heart.

Boy, I know this feeling. I'm so happy that you have had the chance to experience it. Grandchildren are truly a blessing and so are Grandparents!
ReplyDeleteYou have really mastered the form. The thought is not forced by it, but comes naturally. Excellently well done.
