“Caterpillars”

 
“Caterpillars”
 
cji
2/3/13
 
A Sabbath Day to be thankful
for all the little things in life
remembering of the children
much younger and scientists
adding regularly to collections
but one was the most creative;
 
Some might say even inventive
remembered long recollections
making and assigning to do lists
everyday each of our children
amid the hassles of daily strife
those days over and grateful;
 
Each laundry day being found
emptying pockets for the boys
pulling them inside out to see
what might be trapped inside;
 
One had something to hide
trepidation for my hands to see
wasn’t a snake or any toys
caterpillars squishing around;
 
The memory last until this day
thus on the Sabbath thankful
the privilege of raising kids
knowing of grandkids today;
 
Glad their parents now to pray
my turn to grease the skids
I’m ever found so grateful
caterpillars with them to play!
