Papa Tate

My granddaughter Payton and I

We mixed colors from childhood

with gentle tones that came with time

gave birth to a generation

that became the pride of our prime

 

Those were days of joys un-ending

you think we won't see anymore

'Cause where we find ourselves these days

we have never been to before

 

Each place in life brings adventure

meant to try us all of our days

To test resolve and resilience

that we apply to each new phase

 

We will always have a purpose

as now I am called Papa Tate

To tell you the truth I love it

being a grandfather is great

Author's Note

The days of life may dim at times and new things always feel unsafe and insecure. But what we fear is infirmity. However Life is only good as long as it is changing and growing. Like the seasons we come and go and face the end like any man. So it is that when the time comes I'll conform to the masters plan

and we can't help but see reflections of ourselves in those grandkids...as we live those hard to get back moments through them...watching them grow.

love the sentiment in this,Tate.

Thank you Jacob it is with the passing of the years that i find I treasure more the memories as well as the lessons taught that now benefit my grandchildren as well as myself.

Each phase of life brings such gifts. You have a way of sharing these points in your life with the reader, so that we too may embrace what Life has in store. A sweet tribute to this moment, and to your family, Tate!

So awesome! I take care of my grandson several days a week and it's like getting a second chance at more happiness. There is nothing greater than philosophies of a seven year old.

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks man yeah i get mine time to time and the philosophies are profound they have me in stitches

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you KL It is a never ending well of thought from which i draw these feelings of love . So akin to all of us arent they?

[redflutterby]

As a young grandma four times over let me tell you there's nothing better. Its different from how we felt about our children...all the fun and none of the responsibility maybe? Whatever it is it changes your perspective on so much. I was blessed to have my maternal grandparents as active figures in my life. Their value was beyond measure! I fully intend on leaving that same mark on my own grandbabies. This is a lovely poem and the pictures are priceless!

[Tate Morgan]

You are lucky to have so many. Thank you I too knew my own grandparents great grandparents and in the case of my granny My great great grandparent. Priceless!
