Promptly Poetry Challenge 2022-23

Family tree [Week 41 entry]

Family tree


The grandkids
close eyelids,
their little hands extended with fingers spread wide
to receive their reward for quiet play inside.
Some say I'm too old, that all those small ones cause cares,
but I proudly answer, "They're my future, my heirs,
my seven
from heaven."
