Most grandparents are wonderful folks don't you know
And they've been that way since a long time ago
Why they don't even have to go to school to learn things
My grandpap was much smarter than any ol' King!


And granny was as sweet as cotton candy you get at the fair
She knew how to make me feel like I was walking on air
They loved for me to come out to the farm and stay
Grandma was like a kid my age and we'd run and play!


At times they were so funny I'd laugh till I cried
Mostly when granny'd climb the haystack and away she would slide!
Of course I couldn't let her play all alone
When we got done playing on that stack it looked like a combat zone!


Grandpap would get on his horses that had never been rode
He would whoop and holler and he hardly ever got throwed
Yep he was something else and that's for sure
A granddad who always made us grandkids feel secure


Once I remember them taking me to a little carnival that was in town
That carnival had so many rides, and even had a ring for the clowns
Grandpap threw darts till he won me my first teddy bear
Granny threw dimes in cups and bowls and won me a cute cap to wear


My life has never the same since my grandparents passed on
No one has ever shown me the love that they had shown
That's the way it should be in a kids life, unconditional love
And no one else on earth gives that love like a grandparent does

Melva
 

 

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
