When I lock eyes

     When I lock eyes 
with a grandchild of mine 
the wheels start churning 
I know with every word and every sight and every sound 
This child is growing and growing 
     When I lock eyes 
with a grandchild of mine 
The world stops moving 
I know, it’s a very special moment 
so I want to write this poem they can 
read it 
When I lock eyes
