Dedicated and Featured To My Grandchildren

Two of my grandchildren are not pictured because my son and his companion do not want their children’s pictures on the internet. I’m sad about it, but that’s their decision.

Life is so greatly enjoyed in the years of retirement and the years of grandchildren.

Every grandchild needs a grandpa, whether biological or not. Grandchildren deserve grandparents in their lives. They need all that I have mentioned in my poem to my grandsons. And each has its own framed copy on parchment signed by this Grandpa.

I have written one for my granddaughters as well.

Grandpa

A boy needs a Grandpa,

For man-to-man talks.

To go hand in hand,

On companionable walks.

To fix up his toys,

When they no longer go.

To tell him the things,

Little boys want to know.

A boy needs a Grandpa,

To show him the way.

To handle a puppy,

To teach him fair play.

To impart bits of wisdom,

He's learned through the years.

That it's no disgrace,

For a man to shed tears.

A boy needs a Grandpa,

To sit on his lap.

And if no one is looking,

They take a wee nap.

Each wrapped in an aura,

Of love and esteem.

Each is smiling gently,

At some unique dream.

My grandsons',

Eoin, Lee, Christopher, Rowick.
