Only one

 Only One (Make that Two)

 

There’s a longing in my heart

At the age of sixty-six.

But this whole situation

Will not be a simple fix.

 

I have a son and daughter

Who are getting up in years.

And they both remain single,

So this aggravates my fears.

 

I’d love to have a grandchild.

Only one is all I ask.

For the Lord of creation,

It should be an easy task.

 

I ask with an attitude

That’s hopefully meek and mild,

For one small bundle of joy

My own precious, sweet grandchild.

 

So till my grandchildlessness

Is something the Lord pities,

I will try to be content

With my three large grand-kitties.
