Second Innings - This is a collection of poems written for or from the point of view of an ageing person.

Toffees, toys and showering gifts
Oh, pampering has spoilt my grandkids.
My own kids were never this lucky
For then I had so much responsibility.
But now that my kids are settled
And they are the one’s that toil,
I can take it slow and enjoy my life.
But I need to make up
For the yearning to pamper
And for the lost time-
I can’t pamper my grown kids now,
But grandkids will be just fine.
‘Lucky brats’, these grandkids of mine!
