Old, I do not want to be
        You make me see as a child again
Your face and eyes filled with happiness
        You make me smile
Yearning and eager to learn
        You make me remember how I used to be
Filled with energy and fun
        You give me strength to move
Hugs and kisses
        You make me feel loved
Walking hand-in-hand
        You give me a reason to go on
Gifts of bugs and worms
        Accepted without regret
No greater love or gift
        Than a grandchild
Leading me back to a simpler time
