Grandson Hanan Samuel Collins, 3 ish (2006)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spider, bug,

Ant and bee

In my garden,

At my knee.

Provide a show

For this young one,

Eyes tuned tight

In midday sun.

He alone can see them move

We pass so fast his dawdling proves

Were we more still

We’d find delight

In this wee world

Through child’s sight.

Just a simple poem for my first grandson. Children delight in the simplest things.

    This is a wonderful reminder. It is shocking how fast the time will pass if we don't take the time to appreciate these moments.
