A grandmother's love for her grandchildren.

                                                                    IN THE EYES OF MY GRANDCHILDREN
                                                       
                                                          No music - nor - color - nor loveliness of earthtones
                                                          grips my heart - like the eyes of my grandchildren
                                                          no emotional emination - thrills me
                                                          like the motion in their step
                                                   
                                                          I am elevated in their presence
                                                          taking flight from their energy
                                                          knowing all is theirs - in their belief
                                                          upon their leaving - I do ponder
 
                                                          how to gather such wonder - as they are
                                                          did I ever possess their power that radiates
                                                          like the fire of certainty
                                                          that all is only now
       
                                                          that yesterday is past - tomorrow will wait
                                                          to devour today with laughter and love
                                                          ahhh - one time I did - I remember -  I go there again
                                                          everytime I see - the eyes of my grandchildren
