This week we celebrate Lil Man's birthday - the child of my child - my precious grandson. I do not know the name of the poet who penned this poem, however, I embraced the words.
Child of My Child
Oh, child of my child, Hope of my hopes,
Dream of my dreams.
You are born of my past en route to your future.
Even though you will learn what I only imagined,
Experience what I only supposed,
Grow wise in things I only guessed,
Let me share this space and place with you.
Only then can I trust the future I will not live to see.
For no matter what riches I amass in the world,
You, the child of my child,
Are my truest legacy.
