Grandpas Love

Trying something new

Grandpa is getting to old to run.
So, I took his paper just for fun.
He stood up and grabbed his back.
Took a step, I heard his knees crack.

I went in  his room hid under his bed.
This is when he finally said. 
"When I catch you I'll tickle you to death" 
I held real still and held my breath.

He checked every closet in every room.
He yelled "Just wait till I catch you"
I began to giggle and closed my eyes.
When I opened them I realized
he was staring straight back at me.
He scooped me up and set me on his knee. 

Wrapped me in his arms and gave me a hug
I'm never be to old for Grandpas love.
