What is a Grandfather?

A Grandfather is a special gift received from God above. He starts out with patience, then adds an abundance of love.

He enjoys telling you stories, about how he grew up, He'll share his sandwich with you, And let you drink out his cup.

He lets you get away with stuff. That mom and dad won't do. He'll teach you how to do things. Even share a secret or two.

He is always willing to listen, To what you have to say, He knows how to make you smile. And will never stand in your way.

He has tremendous, faith in you, He just has that special touch. It's no wonder then Grandpa.

Why we love you so much!

Love your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
