Grandpa's Magic Memories

GRANDPA'S MAGIC MEMORIES

Grandpa’s come in various ages, and dispositions,

And Grand Children do the same it seems?

Many times they grow up together,

But Grandpa’s have the most fun it seems.

You can tell a Grandpa is really happy with a Grand Child on his lap.

It is a little harder to tell, when you check his room and he is having a nap?

Many Magic Smiles fill a Grandpa’s happy face,

Because a Grandson just won a Grandpa “hot foot” race.

I know a Grandpa whose Granddaughter came to whisper in his ear,

“Grandpa I really love you, and I am so glad you are here!”

He grabbed his “pocket hankie” and rubbed his nose and eyes,

And said “I must have an allergy”, or at least I do surmise.

Every life has Magic Moments, so grab them and hold on fast,

If you wait too long and don’t act fast, the memory will just fly past.

I have found many moments, that pop up in the night.

Sometimes that happened years ago, but still gives you a fright.

You explain the teacups at Disneyland you would not care to ride.

You explain that the Breakfast you had, You want to stay inside!

All at once your beautiful Granddaughter is standing by a young man,

There by the Altar they have taken Vows, too love each other as best they can.

And even before you know it, amid the strife and trials of life,

The Grand Daughters and sons, have walked the aisle as Man & Wife.

And the circle now starts anew for Grandpa and his GREAT’S,

And it will not be long till Grandpa, has a whole house full of Mates.
