I could not ask for more

Alisa Fineman song and some words.

                                 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.

Lots of people regret not having had time for their kids when life was hectic & careers were demanding, but you just make up for it with your grandkids! This is a superb illustration of what it means to walk with gratitude. Some people always looking for something to complain about, but it's just as easy to find something to be thankful for (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you dear Margie for reading and the comment. When we are young. We don't know. Children grow like the Spring weeds.

This one really rings honest and true, a poem about what's dearest to a man's heart. It's some of your best work. Keep sharing!

We learn in old age. We do not need everything, We need just enough and we will be okay. Thank you dear Carina for reading and comment.

the sentiment of blood ties and contentment is proof of a life lived well IMHO

Thank you dear Corset. In the new world of wanting everything. We learn wisdom when we learn. We have enough.
