Kids Don'T Care Poem by Jim Yerman

After spending time with the grandchildren I once again have become aware
There are so many things in life about which children do not care.

They don’t care if we’re old or bald, or short or tall or fat
I’m sure they don’t think about our physical flaws, they just don’t care about that.

They don’t care if our house is small or the ceiling has a crack
They don’t care if the lawn is mowed, or there’s no grass in the back.

They don’t care how much money we have or if we drive Mercedez or Jaguars
They don’t care if there are scratches or dents or parts missing from our cars.

They do care that we love them and that we somehow find a way
To show them that we love them each and every day.

They do care that we’re honest and fair and I think you’re going to find
They care that we have a heart and a soul and we’re generous and kind.

And they do care that we spend time with them and the last time that I checked
They care we treat them with tenderness, humanity and respect.

Yes after spending time with the grandchildren I once again have no doubt
How they can teach us a lot about life by the things they don’t care about.
