Poem with love to my Grand Children

Time goes by so fleetingly

Hearts can melt or break

Life is for the young, child

Nothings give or take

In this world of beauty, ugliness, love and hate

You will shine with brilliance, child

In the world you can create

Don’t look at the smirks, child

Don’t look at the sneers

Your smile can change the cloudy skies

Don’t have any fears

Your life is like a diamond

So precious and so clear

Yes, you are the precious one

Shining in this great sphere

Listen to the mustn'ts, child

Listen to the don’ts

Listen to the shouldn’ts

The impossible, the won'ts

Listen to the never haves

Then listen close to me

Anything can happen, child

Anything can be.
