It seems to me I'm blessed from above. Three little grandsons brimming with love. Rascals every one of them, one two three. Whatever in this world just came over me. When I go to visit ,can't hear myself think, After ten minutes , boy do I need a drink. Sounds like the tornado, I just wrote about. If you want to be heard you just have to shout. The oldest is Damon, he'll be four pretty soon. A beautiful boy, sometimes acting the goon. Beating up on the twins, his favorite thing. Grabbing toys or whatever,he'll make them sing. He's really a sweet child and I love him a lot. He's bright and resourceful says,"What have you got?" "Just empty your pockets and I'll let you go." After the mugging I'm out in the snow. Some of the sweet ladies who write in this forum. Have beautiful grand daughters, and I'm happy for them. But I have three grandsons and want you to know. That I wouldn't trade them, does my love not show? The twin boys I'll tell you are cute as can be. They are not identical but look so to me. Jonathan one's called ,the other is Jax. As I open the door, they both turn their backs. They cling to their Mother and whine and they howl. It's all a big act, to make me feel foul. But when I take them out with me in the car. The're happy as piglets, at a pot luck bazaar. These guys that are two, are a sight to behold. Chocolate covered faces look just like gold. Laughing and playing, with kisses for all. There's cuts and bruises each time that they fall. The problem that's left now,it is a big one. Explaining this poem with love to their Mum. But she knows I love them, and remembers I think. That originally twas her that drove me to drink. Jack [This message has been edited by twinsgd (edited 04-17-2000).] |

This is an unusual poem.. I like it.. filled with love, although the last stanza is kinda sad.. almost sounds.. remorseful.. perhaps even slightly bitter.. probably I just did not understand it though.. ^_^ Nicely said, Jack.. nicely said. Lynne |

Jack--I love this; it makes the boys come alive with words. I hope you plan on giving their mom a copy for each of them (one for her too). I can identify with driving parents to drinking......friends too....LOL "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |
