Grandchildren that are ill break your heart,
knowing there is nothing you can do to ease their suffering.
All one can do is show them they are loved,
easing the pain with hugs and kisses.
Waiting during any procedures
watching the clock while waiting for news.
Surgery going on while worry is in your heart,
as thoughts keep ruminating in your mind.
If only we could endure their problems for them
we would gladly do so without a second thought.
