Grandparents Day September 9, 2012
GRANDCHILD Apple of my eye The desire of my heart Experiencing moments as you grow Memories that we share Secrets known by only we two These joys are but a few You bring into my life Seeing my child, your parent and a little of my own Similar characteristic traits familial antics, movements, tones Natural dispositions of a genetic three part and parcel passed through our family tree You test the bounds of love Stretch patience from inch to mile Yet disavowment melts to nothing Overpowered by your smile Captivated by your innocence Confounded by such honesty One moment angelic the next rough and raw No matter what you say or do all retrospective redeemed by a whisper of I love you, Grandpa.
