I became a father at such a young age.
We worked so hard to get the girls raised.
It seems as if time has flown.
Because now they are grown with kids of their own.
When they were young we never had time to spend.
Always had work to do, It seemed to never to end.
Always fingerprints to wipe, and messes to clean.
Piles of dirty diapers, and laundry unseen.
Then one day my house was quiet, something was wrong.
I couldn't put my finger on it but something was gone.
I walked through the house to try and see.
If I could find what it was that was bothering me.
Then there were a knock on my door.
I opened it up and was met by love and smiles galore.
Standing there before my eyes were my childern and my grandchildren.
I realized than that this is what was missing, the void was now filled.
Time spent with our children can be hurried and rushed but I was rewared with grandkids who can fill my older years with nothing but love.
