It wasn't until I had grandbabies

that I realized,

it's fun to watch them

blow out a candle

over and over and over again;

it's fascinating to watch them

build a tower from Legos

only to knock it down

and laugh with delight;

to see how quickly they learn

where the snack basket is;

to remember what it was like

watching the same cartoons

that I did when I was younger;

to feel delightfully loved

when they fight over your lap;

to see that look of adoration

when they spot your face;

and to see their unabashed love

when they see their parents

walk through our door.

They love me,

and I relish in that fact,

but it thrills me to know

they love their parents more.

Grandchildren?

They are the best parts

of all the ones I love ~
