Why Do Grandparents Visit? Poem by Jim Yerman

Why do grandchildren love visits from their grandparents?
It's not just the cookies or the presents they might bring.
It's how the love they share brings comfort to their souls
and allows their hearts to sing…

And why do grandparents love visiting their grandchildren?
Because their souls, too, are comforted…
their love songs, too, are sung…
and because
even though they may feel older…
their grandchildren keep them young.
