SMALL GRANDCHILDREN <br /> <br />They are growing up <br />As we are growing down- <br />They give the dream of the Future <br />We bear the weight of the Past- <br />They do not know the lift they give us <br />We are always aware of trying not to burden others - <br />They are learning <br />And we try to teach- <br />Their very existence is the fulfillment of our dreams <br />And they do not understand why simply by being <br />They bring us so much Happiness.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/small-grandchildren/
