Grandchildren

I hope to leave a legacy
Of love and truth and caring
Who has your hopes and dreams at heart
Someone who’s good at sharing

You make my life much richer
Even when you’re out of sight
To hear what makes you happy
Also makes my days so bright

And when you’re sad, I too, am sad
I want to make things right

Until you are grandparents
You’ll never, ever know
How grandkids enrich our lives
And set our hearts aglow
We could not love you more than this
But this, of course, you know.
