We are

puffed-up-with-pride

grandparents

watching our little ones

in the backyard-

 

full of energy

crackling

lightning bolts

with daring

on flying wings

climbing high higher

copied from our

own antics

before too many

sunsets

escaped horizons ago-

 

those days

of Roy Rogers

and horse-riding

imagination followed

by swinging until

supper-time found us.

 

Both Grandparents

now made a wish – one to

have a short nap

and the other looking

around for a swing

to ride.

A childhood memory we can all tap into and reimagine the exhilaration of. Lovely, and I especially enjoyed the idea of the grandchildren as lightning bolts. It's our Pick of the Day. Do share on social media. (The painting is a Winslow Homer from here: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLA_hmaa_Winslow_Homer_Girl_on... - I hope it's ok.)
