Ah yes. The joy of children. I have three. No grandchildren (yet). Perhaps some day. This is a proud and loving write, Gene. Thank you for sharing it. Love and peace to you,

Regis

Isn't it fun being a proud grandparent...I love it too!

Delightful ode to these two blessings dear Gene.......I share your pride and glowing love through your words my friend......They will have these words always......an immortal tribute from their loving GrandDad......And I will be looking for Eliza in the Yankee Pinstripes some day.....:-)

Peace,

Bill :-)

Pop away, Gene. You have every right to be proud. Anything less would have been wrong. ~ Sara

How fortunate they are to have those they love encourage their dreams... Lovely tribute!

Myrna

Great poem, Gene

Love,
Eileen

What a proud grandpa you are!! This poem is a gem!!!

Sandie Angel :o)

Sounds BEAUTIFUL and RIGHT to the kid from the land of SUSAN B. and FREDDIE D. Thanks Gene, William B.

Not too proud, huh Grandpa?! And you have every right to be! How wonderful this is, Gene!

Right on Gene, brag away. congrats to the kids and an applause for yourself as well. After all they sprang from your gene pool, pun intended. LOL Hugs, J'nia

bravo! -- it isn't natural or healthy for grand pops to hold back when the subject is their grandchildren -- proud enough to have your buttons pop, and rightly so Gene -- cherish them my friend -- they are the spice that seasons the food of we aging folk -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

When I read your title, I thought Grandpa might be gaining a little weight - but this is much better!

Beautiful tribute to your granddaughters!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Oh my..like Belle said below Grandpa should be very proud..this is wonderful writing sweet Gene...well done indeed..stay safe and well...Hugsss,much love to ya

Gene,
And a great popping of buttons it is, I had to duck 10,000 miles away.
I'm glad you didn't take the coy road, the hints-only route in case someone might accuse you of boasting, you said it straight and rightly so, and said it very well.

What a wonderful gift you have given Eliza and Kara - a treasure that will fill each of them with love and pride that their adored grandfather would take the time to write a poem just for them. I have no doubt this heirloom will travel down many generations.

Isn't it great to have such terrific grands? Twins, no less! Two stars out of the same 9 month effort...This one probably wrote itself.

Gene,

The perfect title for the poem. Dare we say Grandpa is proud?

Great family!

Cynthia

not unlike their tubby old Grandpa, then!! :)) It's been said before many times, but the Genes just can't help it... The boyfriends are gonna have their work cut out for them, matchin up to Gramps' expectations... But just goes to show you can't have too/two much of a good thing! I'm getting your ruby tan from way over here, so take pity on the ozone, oh glowing one... xxx

At that age they are almost all perfect. The best years are between the terrible twos and adolescence. Wait a year or two. You may need to hang around to protect them from their parents. Then again, they may stay perfect. It's possible. [:o)

Sounds like double trouble...lol
What a wonderfully heartwarming poem Gene. I enjoyed every word. I will be a grandma to a baby boy in about three weeks, cannot wait.
Peace, love, and light,

Amber "V"

Grampa should be very proud!

hmmmm??? 'Spectacular'...Gene...I think it is those Genes you gave them :)...congrats to both...may they continue happiness & success in life!

Yes, they are perfect, say it with pride!

Great write Gene. WTG my friend. God bless.

You have every right to say it..."They're perfect." I read heartfelt pride in this poem, Gene, and why not! Kudos to you...and the twins!
Blessings and Love - Micke

You play an important role in your granddaughter's lives, Gene. This gives me a taste of what it would have been like to have a grandpa. One died before I was born and the other when I was just a toddler and I don't remember him. But they say I was his favorite. But I have a B&W photo of Frank in suspenders, a "stogie" in the corner of his mouth and looking proud. How wonderful it must be to be nurtured by such unconditional love and pride, lucky girls! Wonderful write and what a gift they'll treasure...

Perfection would be if they DID NOT play for the Yankees...play for anyone but them...;-) Ed

Not proud, are you? LOL Well done, Gene, and congratulations! Can we be your adopted grandchildren? LOL

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :D

Beautiful tribute to your twin athletic granddaughters, Gene; well penned!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

I'm a twin, too! :)

Hi Gene, And you should say it! I like the ryhthm in this write, which keeps you reading to a perfect end! Good on you, my friend... isn't it great being a grandparent? Sometimes wish we could have been that first before being a parent, but I think grandparenting is the reward... thank you for sharing, this...

In Spirit,
Bear
