Spoil Me
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
In jest, some say I'm God's reward
For surviving the turbulent teens:
For showing grace and self-control
While youth boldly vented its temper.
For some I am a second chance
To relive years - avoiding past mistakes -
Or to see again the joys of life
From a less jaded point of view.
But for all I am a blessing,
Bringing delight, fun, and fulfillment.
And best of all: I come to you
No strings attached, except your heartstrings.
Who am I?

I just realised how long it's likely to be before I'm a grandfather. I feel so old.
Great!Look for mine,first M. on the M. and Bad luck. Coming soon if they go through.
See, DEJL, I didn't forget Derek, Dean, Haley, Luke, Alice, Ella, & Grace. Good luck! I'll be lookin' for ya!
Puzzle answer could just as easily be children as grandchildren. Very easy for a parent to answer this teaser within a few lines! Sweet!
Incredibly, I have no children (I'm still in high school) but I was able to get the grandchildren answer. But that's ok, I really thought it was a good riddle.
Awww... that's so sweet! Two thumbs up!
Fantastic Gebbie!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments!
Your child or grandchild, it doesn't matter, it is still a very well done teaser, and good perspective.
I only read the first two lines and answered "Death"
Actually, there's a saying that grandchildren are your reward for not... uh... "doing in" your teenagers!
Cute teaser!I really enjoyed it!
