Grandchildren Make Everything Alright When it's Not
A poem about grandchildren
In tender arms, a love untold,
grandchildren's wonder takes hold,
with eyes aglow, their spirits dance,
a bounce at life's second chance.
*
Their laughter echoes through the years,
erasing shadows, soothing fears.
Each giggle, hug, and gentle touch,
a testament to love's pure clutch.
*
In little souls, the future blooms,
bright stars within life's vast rooms,
grandchildren, treasures of our hearts,
forever bound, never to depart.
*
Grandchildren give us joy
to live longer, forever,
feeling younger and healthier,
happier and brighter.

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about!
My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of uncertainty and things not going in our favour. It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control. While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden

I totally agree. I have one granddaughter and three grandsons. I love them to bits.
They're definitely such huge blessings! Your poem was wonderful!
Yes, they are definitely loving and have that glowing spirit when they are around you. Beautiful poem.
Very true. They do make you feel much better.
Heartfelt poem. Grandchildren, it's true, make you feel good.
