I long to hear that sound again <br />The happy voices of children, <br />of children playing happily. <br />I must rely on memory. <br />My fledglings from the nest have flown <br />and they have children of their own <br />But alas they are too far away <br />to hear their children at their play. <br />We’ve reached another stage in life, <br />There’s only me and my good wife. <br />I care for her she cares for me <br />exactly as it ought to be. <br />It’s sad but true we only see <br />our grandchildren infrequently. <br /> <br /> <br />(7-Aug-07)<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/todays-reality/
