To My Darling Grandchildren

Posted bykiwipommysuePosted inPoetryTags:, , ,

A poem written for inside the cover of “Bedtime Stories – Keepsake Collection” for the twins before they were born (and obviously didn’t have names!) – Clio and Jasmine

You haven’t been born yet

       Don’t know who you’ll be

Who’ll ask for a story

       And climb on a knee

I know you’ll have laughter

       I know you’ll have tears

A family who’ll love you

       All through the years

At the end of the day

       When a story is read

You’ll be snuggled up warmly

       And tucked up in bed

Maybe stories of Dragons

       Princesses or Kings

And all sorts of wonderful

       Magical things

Then someone who loves you

       Will kiss you goodnight

And drifting to sleep

       Your dreams will take flight

I know when I heard

       That you were to be

A wonderful dream

       Came true for me

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.
