To See a Grandchild Shine

To watch and see a grandchild shine

In a performance is to feel

Like shouting, “Yes, that one is mine!”

Of course his talents do appeal.

 

It’s hard to be objective, but

We want our grandkids to do well.

Still, if they aren’t great, my gut

Would let me know. (Though, would I tell?)

 

Not everybody who performs

In sports or some way on the stage

Will rise up way about the norms

And with the audience engage

 

Except within subjective eyes,

Which always think that they’re the best.

The future, though, holds the surprise

Of who will leave the world impressed.
