My Grandkids Are Special
My Grandkids
Time
Oh my Oh my
the time does fly
And
I am feeling old
But when the Grandkids
Come and visit
It's
worth it's weight in gold
So come and visit many times
and bring That tiny smile
I'll be here with Hugs Galore
And Snuggles all the while
From Papa 17 Jan 2012
Where Oh Where
time has come
time has passed
and I have tried my best
to teach the things
that our Lord wants
to him I leave the rest
My little loves
are growing up
and soon will leave the nest
Where oh where
Is all the time
we had but didn't use.
The time it comes
the time it goes
it's not here very long
So do your best
to hear God's word
as it will keep you strong
Heed his words
and follow them
so you can do no wrong
Where oh where
Is all the time
we had but didn't use.
So when I'm gone
Please carry on
And Hear his word each day
Yes live the life
He wants for you
so by his side you stay
And follow through
as he tells you
So you won't lose your way
Where oh where
Is all the time
we had but didn't use.

Papa I Love You
As Through your life the troubles come
Just always do your best
Cause later on the grandkids come
And offer you some rest
All troubles will be paid in full
Including interest due
When a grandchild first can say
Papa "I love you"
As through your life the troubles come
And always seem to stay
Give your children all your love
It will return someday
All troubles will be paid in full
Including interest due
When a grandchild first can say
Papa "I love you"
As through your life the troubles come
And never seem to end
Relief from troubles yet untold
Is just around the bend
All troubles will be paid in full
Including interest due
When a grandchild first can say
Papa "I love you"
As through your life the troubles come
Just make a mental note
That later on the grandkids come
And make them all remote
All troubles will be paid in full
Including interest due
When a grandchild first can say
Papa "I love you"
As through your life the troubles come
And give you pain and such
When later on the grandkids come
They won't amount to much
All troubles will be paid in full
Including interest due
When a grandchild first can say
Papa "I love you"
All interest is compounded
And paid out every day
When a grandchild comes to visit
And wishes they could stay
All troubles will be paid in full
Including interest due
When a grandchild first can say
Papa "I love you"
So give to all your grandkids
The full love in your heart
They need the reassurance
To get a healthy start
All troubles have been paid in full
Including interest due
Because my grandchild came and said
Papa
"I LOVE YOU"

Ode To Mema
We planted our garden
So long ago
To see how it would grow
And it grew well
Cause you were there
With tender loving care
And through that care
The rows grew long
And all the plants grew strong
And when the garden
Went to seed
You still pulled every weed
And now that seed
Begins to grow
Surrounded by your loving glow
From Papa 2002
"What
Is A Grandparent?"
(taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)
Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no
little children of her own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man grandmother.
Grandparents don't have to do anything except
be there when we come to see them. They are
so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good
if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters
for us.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past
things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the
flowers and also Why we shouldn't step on "cracks."
They don't say, "Hurry up."
Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie
your shoes.
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
They have to answer questions like "Why isn't God
married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?"
When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't
mind if we ask for the same story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother,
especially if you don't have television, because
they are the only grown ups who like to spend
time with us.
They know we should have snack-time before
bedtime and they say prayers with us every time,
and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
