June at Grandpa's House

Open field of grass
Young siblings play in the summer.
Water gun and a bucket,
They splash and play.
Grandpa watches with his camera raised
Hours of fun at grandpa's house
He says "ready"
They know what that means
Time to pose for a picture.
I spun around to look at grandpa
Lost my balance,
Then my brother nudged me.
Tried to catch myself,
And plopped into the bucket.
With his hands on his hips,
And that smirk on his face.
I'd say my brother looked pretty proud.

One you'll always remember to I'll bet. Mischief and kids always go together don't they. :) Youth, Grandpa and memories are treasures never to be forgotten. I can see the sun shining and I can feel the warmth right on that field too.

Nice one Kasey.

Thank you Relic. This is how I will remember my grandpa and I share the old days with him all the time so that he knows I will remember him as he was before his stroke.

[Relic]

I'm sorry to hear he had a stroke. I'm sure he's a good man. You'e welcome.

I like this poem. I know where you are coming from. I also have such fond memories of my grandfather. He raised me from the time that I was 12 years old and even longer than that unofficially. I really enjoyed. Nice work!

Lovely snapshot of life. Kids will always be kids, and thank goodness for granddads; my dad is grandpa to 4 already, and hoping for more.

Blessings to your family and your grandpa especially.

Beccy.

it is amazing how a simple memory can connect us to who we are......thank you for this vivid picture....reminds me of my visits to my grandfather.......his ability to spoil kids.....say yes for things parents will say no too.......:)

[Kasey Miriam]

I was the grand kid who spent the most time with my grandparents. They practically raised me for seven years. They were strict with me but we always had so much fun.

This poem is so vivid and sweet as you reminisced about the fun days with your grandpa. It really painted a clear picture in my mind. Very well done!
