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

Dear Safina, your words flooded me with wonderful memories of my own grandchildren. I am lucky enough to have two them living with me still. A lovely tribute to the younger generation. May they always make you smile poet. 🌹 Nothing like the smile of a child to warm your heart.
hi dear
you are lucky indeed to have them with you, and see them grow up.
both my kids are in amsterdam so we get to see them and their family either when we visit them, or they come over.
sometimes the grandkids' boisterousness is overwhelming, since my husband and i live alone and are accustomed to peace and quiet [lol] but it is great to see them and yes, they make us smile and warm our hearts always
wishing you happiness with your family for a long, long time to come..
have a great weekend. take care
Thank you so much for your good wishes. I wish much happiness to you and your family also. Enjoy your day 🌹
