My grandchildren

NafisaSB

Their thousand watts smile

Dispels the gloom in life

Their gurgling and their joy

Are the high points in our lives

 

Their wriggling and their giggling

On which we dote and thrive

Do brighten up our days

And illuminate our nights

 

Too soon they will grow up

And life will lead them on

Their childhood that we cherish

Will all too soon be gone

 

So let us live each moment

With pleasure and with joy

Let the morrow just keep knocking

Let their mood be high, or coy

 

The years will keep on marching

And childhood memories dim

So let the cups now overflow

With joy – up to the brim

      i agree wholeheartedly with you. my only regret is they are in a different country so we meet only when possible

      'Their wriggling and their giggling
      On which we dote and thrive'..
      so happy for you!
      (to recognise, a child's light
      gracing your life
      is to introduce, our existence's
      unadulterated: Beauty
      in-to your hopes and dreams)
      thank you!
      for this soothing read, dear Poet

        our grandchildren are the light that dispel the gloom around us, especially when they are small, and full of innocence and mischief. you get pure unadulterated fun with them always.
        thanks for your comments - have a good day
