Ecstatic Poetry

I attended an award ceremony for my
eldest grandson, Alexander Sathya
he had been struggling with math
so it was quite thrilling to know he
was going to receive an award
for "most improved" in his class.
 

His younger brother, Sean Sai,
has been a straight A student
and we regularly attended
award functions for him.
To our great surprise and happiness,
Alex also achieved the Honor Roll!

After the tribute, Alex introduced
his mother and I to some
of his 6th grade classmates.
As I smiled and chatted with
these innocent souls embarking
on their journey through life,
I couldn't help noticing, that imprinted
on their darling faces and inscribed
in their hearts, was the same basic
question, every human being consciously or
unconsciously is continuously asking:

"Who am I?"
"What is my purpose?"
"Where am I going?"

I pray we all realize who we are
make the noble grade and fulfill
the highest:

God's Divine Honor Roll

My two granddaughters are about the same age as yours, so I can relate. As an aside, one said to me "Grandpa I read some of your poetry, and some of it is OK." Critics. What do they know? :)

In time the young come to discover themselves and the world at large, With God's help they shall become wonderful adults, in the walkway of life. I have enjoyed your poetry this evening thank you for sharing dear Poet xo

It certainly does help to "grow up" and do something productive. Some kids never seem to leave that stage. But from what I read, your grandsons can be proud of their accomplishments and look forward to many more.
