two new boys

grandchildren

two year old towhead running everywhere    playing and moving and wanting your mom   and my son   your dad

sweet baby boy  only seven months old    with a smile on  your face  walking in a walker   young baby  with a lifetime to make    called ''baby brother''

the beauty of the children   the awe of them  the fleeting thought    what if certain past bonds were broken   they  would be different  genetically   and not themselves but others

love for them-- for their future   the years ahead for them...

I can not be selfish and try to be there with them

in their time.. as all grandparents   I  will   say goodbye  and  slip away

and  they will live their lives both quietly and noisily and hopefully       happily

for a hundred years to come...  maybe

  

god bless the children!!
