My Grandchildren


Where were your grandchildren today;    Or if you don't have some, where were 
      you; that your grandmother would care 


From youngest to oldest I pray
Where are they what are they doing
It is a mean crazy world today
How there do those grandchildren cope  

Lovely granddaughters I have four 
Oldest two working at their homes 
Both married, one mother of two  

Younger two school has been their thing 
One, college grad, now at D.C. 
At White House front she's protesting 
The younger's home, in junior high 
Works Soduko, beats me at Clue  

My two grandsons do their own thing 
 
Keep good tabs on your grandchildren  
Stay in good terms and good graces 

One day soon they'll be watching you

It’s wonderful to have grandchildren. I only have one and he is still a toddler but growing up quickly. God advice in the final lines, Jim!

Nice lines Jim. I am thankful I live in the same city as my parents and my mother in law. My children get to enjoy a lot of their attention and love

Yes it is good to have grandchildren and see and to interact with them too. Luckily mine all live in the same state as me so that makes it easier.

My grandchildren (and great grandchildren) live 3000 miles away in Oregon, but I have step grandchildren in North Carolina and here in my city. They are a blessing. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

Glad to see a glimpse into your world as a grandfather, and I love the wise words that come with it. Have a great week Jim.

I have no grandchildren but maybe someday. In the meantime, I'll stick with caring for the trees. It sounds like you my be having great-grandchildren soon, perhaps? I agree to keep them close.
