The grandchild said
Grand Paw
How many stars
are there in the sky
Grand Paw said
I don't know child
But we can count them
every night
It might take a while
The grandchild said
Grand Paw
Who holds the key to Heaven
He put his arms
around the grandchild and said
Your heart holds the key
to Heaven child
For your heart sees
what your eyes can't see
And your heart hears
what your ears can't hear
So your heart knows
the way to Heaven child
Just believe
And never ever
Leave your heart behind
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
What a lovely poem you have written about answering one of those knotty questions that youngsters like to ask.
