Note To My Grandchildren

Don’t call me “old”–when I can thrill
To the yellow of a daffodil.
Each unseen wind that faintly blows
Takes me along. A scarlet rose
Will stop me, breathless, on the path.
I nightly brave the first star’s wrath
By claiming it for mine. My dears,
Thoughts are not hampered by the years!
