People watching once more,
There I saw them,
Saw them in the coffee bar.
I sat drinking my coffee
And looking round I saw them,
An elderly grandfather
And his very young granddaughter,
It may have been his great granddaughter
About two years old.
On the table was a piece of cake
And a pie.
The young girl pointed,
Pointed at the cake
And the grandpa picked up a spoon,
A teaspoon,
He put a little piece of cake in it
Placed it on the table.
The little girl picked it up
And put it in her mouth.
She then pointed at the pie,
Grandpa sliced off a small piece
And put it on a fork,
Placed in front of the girl,
She picked it up and ate it,
Ate it from the fork.
This was such a delight
Such a delight for me,
For me to see,
As smiles pervaded them,
Such a wonderful time
As I watched them,
Watched their wonderful ways.
The thought once more came to me
How can people hurt children,
Children are so innocent
And so wonderful to watch
As they learn in life,
Being shown the way
By loving relatives.
