I have my grandchildren every weekend. Some days can be challenging, but I love seeing the world through their eyes. I have four children but so far only one has increased our herd. Lol. Doubled it. Great poem. Gretchen

So Gretchen, you are expecting more to come from your other children. You are so lucky. Mine came and I had them almost every weekend and some all week, but we did so much together. I made tents for them all thru out the living room so their tents had rooms, played gramma monster on my bed where I would turn into the GM and then I would go back to myself and pretend I didn't know that I had just tried to grab them and growl at them. They loved that game. We made science experiments, volcanos using Coca Cola, stacked duct tape and also do crafts. Sorry for going on and on. There was just so much activity all the time. And when they woke up in the morning they always knew they were going to get rocked and sang to. They loved it so much, they would sit on the floor and listen and wait their turn. And always a dr Seuss book. "Theres a wocket in my pocket" was our favorite. Sorry, but I am so envious of you right now. Let me know how many you have so far? I truly do love kids.
Thanks for the lovely review and kind words. And sorry for going on and on about when mine were little.
Thanks again, dear friend. Love ya! Debi

I can see how much you love your children and grandchildren from this piece. I feel it is always a gift when we get to see our families get bigger and welcome new members the older we get and you portray that really well in this piece. An excellent poem, Debi. I really enjoyed it.

Debi,
I couldn't agree more, you have lots of love for children. It starts with your own kids and grandkids and extends to all of us. You have a true heart for them and it shows.
The poem, itself, is brilliantly written. I loved each well constructed line that flows like a song.
Much love,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, I was wondering if you noticed what I had written about Kylie in my notes? I didn't say her name, but I wasn't sure if you had noticed. Or if they were even in there when your reviewed. I just added them a few hours ago, but was hoping to get it done before you reviewed. So thank you for the lovely review and the sweet comments and compassionate stars. Thank you so much!!! Love, Debi

Awwww, sorry Debi, I didn't see them. I'll go back and look. You are too sweet!!
-
Awwww, that was so sweet!!!! I tried to update my review, but it wouldn't let me. You touched my heart with that nod to our Sweet Angel Baby, who loves her Auntie Debi.
Comment from ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova
This was a beautiful poem. And, indeed, the love of children for loving parents is the most profound love that exists between human beings. The line "should have been four" was heartbreaking. Suffering such a loss is a terrible thing.

Hi Debi,
This is a well done love poem for your kids and grandkids. You are right about mothers understanding the feelings you describe. I am still waiting for my first grandchild. My daughter got married 5 years ago. She and her husband decided to get a house and dog first.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a nice day and week.
Joan

This is a great picture of your descendants and a wonderful poem to go with it. I never got to give birth, but I raised seven children and now there are four more in the next generation. It's hard to believe how much we can love them and want the best for them.

Dearest Carol, you are amazing, sweet lady. Would you mind if I knew how you raised seven kids but never gave birth. You must have married someone with kids, or someone died? Whatever the case I so admire you.
And thanks so much for all your kindness regarding my children's poem.

We adopted a 9 year old boy and then 2 years later 9 and 10 year old girls. When the older girl grew up, she had 4 children and first gave us 4 and 5 year old boys. Then she gave us an 18 month old girl and then a 3 year old boy lived with us but she wouldn't give up custody of him. It has been one big happy family most of the time.

Oh Carol, bless you, bless you, bless you!! I am in awe of you, you precious woman. I thought a lot of you already, but you just completely blew me out of the water, my dear friend. Did I mention, bless you?? (Big Smile)
I am truly impressed!!

You are so sweet. Thank you.
