The Most Proudest grandfather ever he thought he was so very clever he when out on a Christmas endeavor His mighty quest was to get his grand children
To love him forever at first he thought his words were clever he thought he has won their tiny hearts over Like when a miner moves dirt with a bull dozer They move the Dirt hundred times over and over
Adventurous Gram Pa took a Ride In his Hot red Oldsmobile 1975 on an early December morn To explore all the toys
That were at the toy store Board games by Hasbo and Marks Sorry Life and Risk for starts Chess and Checkers has won my heart
The standards and all the rest Twister was one of the best Gram Pa was about to buy them all But he put a few back upon the wall
He loved those grand children so much for in his heart they could do no wrong no matter how many times they played dirty tricks on their old Gram Pa
He would just dust them off and smile and say Oh how wonderful for Me having 3 Grand Children On this wonderful winter's day
Testing my patients as I'm getting older but with each passing day I love them more and more So they find you out on an early December morning At the Toy stores looking for the latest
Learning toys for their inquiring minds want to explore for they are knocking At the door of knowledge Before they are ready to enter college
So off to the Toy stores Gram Pa went In search for a new tricycle bicycle and a new tent For Gram Pa was thinking ahead To summer time fun
fishing hiking Bicycling camping outdoors club and more His Grand children were not going to be left out of the fun of Middle School or High School Fun Teenagers gather with smiles
That last for a lifetime I remember those days from 71-75 Glory Days When it was good time to be alive So long ago
Now days I can only see the good old days Back again through my Grand son's Christopher's eye's Once more when He steps up to the batter box
Or out to Second Base to take his favorite Position on the Diamond field Defending pop-ups and Grounder fielding for he's quit good
I'm the photo pushing Pa Pa In the grandstands with the 600mm lens in his hands getting up close is my forte for I am the photo nut
not happy unless I get the ball hitting the bat In a connecting thrust Thrilling watching the little guy
Run the bases with ease watch out for that stone Christopher Don't trip and remind me of me So far I have enjoy my roll as Gram Pa Jim
The three kids really love me and have left me in In final review God's Gift to the elderly Is the Grand Kids who love you Christopher 8 , Hayden 5 and Little Lucy 2 all three loving me Unconditionally
So they hug you , squeeze you and kiss you too until you're laughing on the floor Creating memories that will last until your long past gone
and your grandchildren can look back and create a new song and Mom and Dad will sing along
I agree my friend.
"and your grandchildren can look back and create
a new song and Mom and Dad will sing along"
I have three grand-boys. Keep me young and hopeful. I loved this story in the poetry. Thank you my friend for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.
