He knows not what power he holds in those tiny hands.

He has no idea of the joy his gaze can impart as before you he stands.

He seems only to know that you love him and he loves you purely from the heart.

The joy is a part but only the start of the greatest exchange of love that life can impart.

He is just over one year of age and knows not what the world around him holds in store.

He knows but simple joys derived from your hugs and kisses; smiles and more.

He provokes you to love him without condition or restriction.

One may even call it a love caused addiction.

He is my grandson and his smile is the light of my life.

His chatter is like music which wipes away all of life’ strife.

He does not know that he makes me feel strong and tall.

His love is pure and it creates a wonderful crevice into which I gladly let myself fall.

No matter what I am doing, I never mind stopping to respond to his gaze

For this is the joy we share during these wonderful days.

We should never outgrow this innocent love which he knows.

Alas, one day he will, I fear the path I followed is the one down which he now goes.
