Wrinkles and Grey Hair

Mommy's getting wrinkles.
Daddy has grey hair.
It wasn't very long ago
when those things weren't there.


Wish I could smooth the wrinkles out
and darken Daddy's hair
to stop the changes going on.
It makes me feel so scared.


Grampa, does it mean they'll die?
They have wrinkles and grey hair!
I never used to worry
before those things were there.


Grampa said to look at him ...
there were lots of wrinkles there,
and on his head, a snowstorm
was the color of his hair.


"Wrinkles only come to point
where smiles were, here and there,
and it's mommy's turn to get some
for the happy times you've shared."


Grampa's white, and Daddy's grey hair
well, it was there to show
who had lived the longest time
so everyone could know!


Grampa said it's part of life.
We love, we learn, we live.
We earn grey hair and wrinkles ... 
they're prizes only God can give.

It never ceases to amaze me how you can enter to the child's mind, not only to think like them but to use their words and talk like them. It is in all your children's poetry, through and through. There are really good children's poets like Prelutsky but he can't come close to the empathetic vision you have of children.
The more I read your poetry, the more I am convinced you are the premiere chidren's poet on the planet. That is from my heart.

Absolutely...still, I don't like grey hairs...so I color them brown, except where the grey once were, they turn a different shade of brown! :) Love your style of poetry, C.J. :)
