Grandma’s Are Special That Way
By Paul Wilson


Have I got a deal for you
said the bacon to the egg
Give me a minute or two
grits are almost done I beg

Biscuits are starting to rise
made from scratch by Grandma
Wash your sleepy little eyes
come sit right next to Grandpa

Homemade jelly taste so sweet
put a little on your plate
Fresh milk washes down what we eat
it’s breakfast time don’t be late

I’m so full I could just bust
I tell grandma with a smile
Not wanting to stop but I must
she says eat you’re still growing child

I remember those special days
when grandma cooked just for me
Breakfast, lunch and dinner always
and special desert’s you’d agree

I remember she took me
to a picture show one day
Staring Elvis said the marquee
we watched him sing and sway

I miss my grandma and her smile
she was very special to me
We would sit and talk awhile
she was the greatest grandma you see

And every grandma has her own
unique and special ways...

Enjoyed, Paul!

Karilea...You are so right. Grandma's have a way of spoiling those grand children.
Thanks for the read and your reply...Paul

Marge...I knew you would relate to this having those two beautiful grand daughters.
Thanks so much for your reply...Paul

Nancy...I'm sure your grand children love having you as a grandma and you enjoy spoiling them in your own special way just like my grandma did me.Thanks for everything...Paul

"I miss my grandma and her smile

And I’m sure a special grandson to her.
A tribute she would be proud of, and I am sure she is.
Beautiful Paul.

This reminds me of my great gramma.  I would spend ALL my available time at her house when I was little.  I would ALWAYS look forward to her eggs (she could always make them perfectly) and  her chocolate cake (the cake is lengendary).  Thanks for reminding me.
