Poem About Losing Grandchildren Due To Divorce

This is not a lost love between two adults; it is the heartache of losing the loving presence of two beloved grandchildren due to the bitter divorce of my son and his wife.

Has it all been taken from me?
No, time has shown a tender mercy
For I still have my precious memories.
