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

[Bill O. Writes]

Beautiful take on a stage of life, change and adaptation to new things coming your way. I have yet to experience even becoming a father but cannot wait. We live on through blood.

[Tate Morgan]

Believe me having a child redefines a man.Where once you thought in terms of self you now love another more than self and you find you now know why you are here.

[Tate Morgan]

What a beautiful poem and family you have. What makes it even more beautiful that you appreciate it and deserve it. Really loved it.Thanks for penning it down.

Thank you my kids are always the treasure i hold most dear.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful photo and words. I believe I'm a better Grandpa than father. The raising of four kids taught me patience and love. I babysit my three grand-boys three days a week. Our grand kids are our pride and joy. Thank you for sharing your photos and words.

Thank you Coyote yeah you and i have come to that point where we sit back and watch our own children struggle to raise their own. I for one fill em with sugar before they go home lol

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too. Good to be the Grandpa.

[David Lewis Paget]

And very nice too, Tate, a new era in your life. I'm into the Great-grandfather bit myself, with six now and more on the way. It's remarkable to watch and see what we started as we get older. Our time is done, theirs is coming up. I hope they don't make such a mess of it as we did.

[Tate Morgan]

Oh I hope to get to that point one day. I am quickly finding i have to go further and further afield to find those more aged and admired as you are.

[Frieda P]

You had me at hello...you mixed those colors so exquisitely as you always do, how could you not be content with this piece of poetry, it's charming, you've personified grandpa's love so sweetly! Payton might be too young in this moment, to understand the grand gesture but she will love this to bits when she gets a wee bit older...

[Tate Morgan]

Awe thank you I love this kid she makes me smile and I in turn do the same for her. Love ya

[Frieda P]

I adore this, my kids better get moving! :) Love you too sweetie. x

[Tate Morgan]

oh I gotta tell you it is great like it was when our own were children they run down thew hall screaming "Papa Tate Papa Tate"! It is just as it was before with Tatertot. Tell your kids to get busy lol

[Frieda P]

I'm pretty sure they've been busy, just not producing haha

[Tate Morgan]

They need you to sprinkle pixie dust on em .lol

[Frieda P]

They already think i'm crazy Tate!

[Dayran]

Hey Grandpa! ... The quality of senior citizenry may have just improved. You are absolutely right in the poem ... and its wonderful to find ... that the transition we create from generation to generation just got better. I'm certain ... the gap ... in generation gap ... is gradually closing. Hang in there ...

[Tate Morgan]

I am Sri i am hanging on . It is hard to look for inspiration in others when you look to the mirror and find you are now the oldest of them all lol But that day is not far off thank you

[Mary C]

I can feel the emotion throughout the piece. Good job

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Mary so much
