The Sound of Grandchildren

Shrieks and shouts of sheer joyous energy

Reasonably ring all around this place

Reasonably because we don’t endure them

We knowingly contribute to them

Despite knowing at some point wisdom will prevail

And this place will become quiet once again.

Children of your own have produced this sound before

Somehow Children of your own produce a different sound

Although the sound is the same, it differs

The sound you hear now is the sound of wisdom

And the wisdom is one of your experience

You see this sound is from your Grandchildren.

You know now how long this sound can go on

You know now how joyful this sound really is

You know now just how quick this sound can end

You know now how to make this sound end

And yes,

You know now just how quiet this place is

When the sound has ended once more!

The Sound of Grandchildren is Life happening

It is the sound of your life being reborn

It is the sound of the future of your life

It is the sound of your life past

All that is good and bad of you is in this sound

Yesterday, today and tomorrow all present in

The sounds of your grandchildren.
