I could not ask for more..


I could not ask for more..

I told my grandchildren,

choose the road you love,

dance, sing and be fearless.

I learn many moons ago,

I had enough and I told the rising sun.

I could not ask for more.

I held my two month grand daughter yesterday,

she smiled for me and I knew.

I had everything I needed.

I saw in her eyes,

love and trust

My children are doing well. Now

once busy man make time for them.

The best days, babysitting my three grand-boys.

My greatest wealth,

the beach days and our mystery day adventures with my grandchildren.

I know,

life is more than me.

We are what we leave behind.

Our children, our grandchildren.

The true wealth of a life.

My children asked me.

what do you need dad?

I tell them I am the richest man I know.

I have the family near,

happy and strong grandchildren and 

you are standing on your two-feet.

Strong minded.

I could not ask for more.
