FOR MY GRANDSONS The first poem I wrote ten years ago
As I am sitting in the sun,
to start this day that just begun.
I sit and think and write with fear,
that the day that soon appears,
Is filled with heartache and such pain,
the kind in which I can't detain.
The cares, the worries, and the woes,
Is this to much for me to tow?

A baby that will soon appear,
is a boy I'll hold him dear.
Can I protect him from this pain,
of our world and his domain?
To you he might be just a boy.
To me he'll fill my heart with joy.

The reason now I must go on.
The reason now I will be strong.
The reason tomorrow has no end.
A brand new journey will begin
