Poem Artwork

My two grandchildren are
what makes me tick! I can't
believe how blessed we are
that they came through this
culture, so far, unscathed!


~*~

I never saw such
A good lad
He never did
Anything bad


We all kept waiting
For the  shoe to drop
At least  a little flop


See that angel smile
A lad with his pup
All grown up, still an angel


Got his first computer
Four years ago
Now a computer programer


College degree, was chosen
To continue university
To get degree computer science


Leaving next week Nagasaki
Staying 3 months in Japan
First time away from home


Worked nights (thru school) for UPS
Won award there, best employee
It doesn't get any better


Hard worker loves Creator
Always smiling, great attitude
I have nothing but gratitude


Whenever I want to cry
For all these years gone by
Instead I give thanks
As I face reality eye to eye


Now I'll be praying
From plane to where he's
Staying, may it all go well

May all go well indeed. Congratulations to Scott for remaining true to a path that is now rewarding him for maintaining his focus and diligence. And much gratitude to his grandmother both for shining a light of guidance in his life and for this inspiring poem.

Eileen,

I will keep your grandson in my prayers; a beautiful lad, indeed...no longer little, though, is he? My Daddy lived in Japan for three years, learned the language. When he was mad at us kids, he'd holler in Japanese...one of the first things I learned was, "Papa-san, wakari masen" (Daddy, I don't understand). LOL I can say good morning (ohio gozaimas), good afternoon (konichi-wa), good evening (konbawa), how are you (genki desu ka), i'm fine (genki desu), thank you (domo arigato OR doi tashi mashte), nice to meet you (haji ma mashte) and goodbye (sayonara). Oh, and count to thirteen (ichi, ni, san, she, go, roku, sachi, hachi, kyu, ju). LOL Thanks for testing me...LOL I'd love to visit Japan. Have him pick up some yen (money). :)

Thanks for the memory jog, and for this lovely write; enjoyed!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *Domo arigato* :)
