I just can't go very long without posting another grandpa poem - well I love them and love being a grandpa...they stayed while their folks went on vacation


January Visiting
We had such fun while you were here
Soft talks and wild walks
Suitcase rides and sofa slides
We saw the life love and felt its surround
So magically your presence makes our souls bound
Basketball and pretzels, popcorn and dipping dots
Relived often to remember all we’ve got
The many things you have to say
The wondrous ways you fill our days
A beautiful giggle and tempestuous wiggles
A pout at times and then some sniggles
We love you both is beyond our saying
Your visits take us on joyous playing
We rescue as heroes and meow like kitties
Searching for neutrons with a guy named Jimmy
Days at a museum to see and to learn
Even some disciplining that make you look stern
Tacos and fruit rollups and pizza with a mouse
We are so very happy when you “come to our house”!

You are one heck of a grandpa, Sir Knight!

Loving hugs to all of you!

"Searching for neutrons with a guy named Jimmy"
*Wonderful*, this is what childhood should be like.

Paul, your love for your Grandchildren is to be cherished, one day when they're old enough they will realise how much you love them.

This is a truly wonderful poem because it evokes vivid memories from my childhood and it has such sweet sentiment.

^*-*^*-*^*-*^*-*^*-*^

Well done, again!!
