Walking in the adventure land Little hands – feet – eyes go wandering Looking and seeing Finding and keeping Feeling things and talking to his grownup friend Grandpa why… Grandpa how… Grandpa when… Grandpa can we… Can we go there… Hills ran up & up and bushes helped us hide Stones hurtled into the pond Walking stick and fishing pole Found by eyes and quick hands Time stands still The old friend watches The son of a son Oh, Grandpa this is so much fun… I want to stay here forever An old heart beams… |

Paul dear friend..this has to be your best by far. Brought a huge lump to my throat.. Nothing quite like grandkids, eh? So good to be reading you here again. ~Smiles, Hugs and Happy Father's Day, Grandpa!~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Awww...this is really sweet. I agree with my sister Enchantress....there's nothing like grandkids. When my grandson asks "Amma will you play hotwheels with me?"....I just melt no matter how tired I am and grab my favourite race car for a while of fun. Love this. Chris ![]() |
