Fortunate Elders
The best game is playing with, The best talk is talking with, The best time is that spent with, The tiny tots of offspring.
The best music is their talk, The best dance is how they walk, The best beauty to the eyes, Their innocent look and smiles.
Fortunate are grandparents, And all those great grandparents, Who could share quality time, With their precious grandchildren.
Some children are fortunate, To have their live grandparents, A few are most fortunate, To see their great grandparents.
Parents shall allow offsprings, To spend time with grandparents, And with their great grandparents, Since aged live not, for too long.
Keep not separated these, The reasons be whatever, Grandkids hold these memories, Cherish them as fresh ever.
