Watching a grandchild grow up can be a painful reality.


Poem Artwork


My grandson attempts to leave,
But he runs back.
Why does he do it?
He wants another hug, that‘s why.
I’ve seen him do it time and again—
Goes through the same ol’ ritual
Each time he tries to depart.
It’s like he can’t get enough o’ me.
I know exactly how that boy feels though,
'Cause I can’t get enough o’ him either.
Each time he does it,
My heart breaks all the more,
For I know that dreaded day’s coming
When he goes out my front door,
Forgets himself, and keeps on walking.
God, please grant me one more hug...

I felt a pain in my heart with your last three lines. Beautifully penned.

...well penned thoughts...of a small grandson's loveable comings and goings...to one day be going. He will not forget you...
