Watching grandkids is like watching time

Grandchildren growing,
Still learning (not knowing).
Becoming quite tall.
Having a ball.
Huge appetite -
morning 'til night.

I was that way
back in the day.

Getting some older.
Days turning colder.
Time is most fleeting,
What was - now repeating.
Although there is yearning,
For me, no returning.

In those kids I see me.
Not as I now be.
