My grandpa is a best friend
to the whole family
Especially to the youngsters
who sit upon his knee.
He tells us all stories
of days long gone by
Some get pretty long
Oh me, oh my!
The long walks to school
carrying books in a bag
Through rain and snow
Gosh, what a drag.
Some funny, some scary,
some made up I know,
but he smiles and laughs
his eyes all aglow.
He polishes and waxes
as he whistles a tune,
stops to rest now and then,
to say it will be finished soon.
Sometimes he rocks in his chair
on the porch of his house
we sit still and listen
as quiet as a mouse.
I know my grandpa would
love to play ball with me,
but he is not as young as
he used to be.
So I'll sit here and listen
to the stories he tells,
and cherish the moments
that we are best pals.
I know the day will come
when my grandpa will not
be here,
but in my heart he will
always be near.
So my advice to you all
is spend as much time
as you can.
with the one you call
grandpa, that real "special" man.

Growing up I can
remember my Grandpas always being there for me. One of my Grandpas used to whittle jumping
jacks for me.. (I guess that gives my age away)
The other Grandpa was always there to talk too, or to just listen.
With Father's Day soon here,
Along with your Dads, remember
your Grandpas too...
If they are no longer with you,
remember them in your hearts, for
those were the
"Good Old
Days"
