there are six of you now,
and I have met you all.
I shall watch as you grow
guided and loved
by parents who dote on you
leading you carefully along life’s paths.
who’ll pick you up when you fall,
catch you when you stumble
care and caress those hurts both inside and out
who will always be there no matter what.
for each of you will test them
throw obstacles to their plans
test their resolve
but always be there for you,
your greatest supporters through thick and thin.

Awwww someone is a proud grandpa 🙂
I’m sure your time will come. And yes.
Oh not anytime soon please!!! lol
well no, one day….you hope.
A grandparent watching his child parent his grandchildren…there is something so sweet and heartwarming about that. Love the poem. 🙂
Thanks Cubby, my newest Gkid is four weeks old and I visited him on the weekend.
A nice message for the grandkids 🙂
Thanks RoSy, they are all characters for the future.
Ah, lovely. That honour isn’t in my future – but then I’d probably be the crotchety one that everyone is scared of – think Hansel & Gretel….!
Thanks Freya, are we talking wicked step mother sort of crotchety…or just plain old crank??
It really does depend on which side of the bed I get out of in the morning… 😉
hahahaha, yes I understand……or what you drank the night before…lol
🙂
Perhaps print this out and frame it with the date you wrote and give it to each of them?
hey yeah, a christmas present.
🙂 with the date and Grandpa wrote this…
Ok, thanks.
