I could not ask for more…

January 6, 2024 10:25 pm


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 sixteen-month granddaughter 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.

  1. So beautiful and heartfelt John. I resonate to this:
    I” know,
    life is more than me.
    We are what we leave behind.
    Our children, our grandchildren.
    The true wealth of a life.”

    I so agree:)
