Grandparents Meet A Need



Grandparents meet a need

That no one else can fill;

They’re always kind and gentle;

They love you and always will.



They have plenty of time to listen,

To encourage and to care;

When others are too busy,

Grandparents are always there.



They have delicious foods;

There’s always something cooking;

They feed you scrumptious tidbits,

When no one else is looking.



They take you special places;

They’re never in a hurry.

They soothe you when you’re troubled,

And help you not to worry.



They buy you things you want,

Even things that you don’t need;

"Do what makes them happy!"

Is every grandparent’s creed.



They focus on your good points,

And overlook each flaw;

How could we do without

Our grandma and grandpa?



Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma,

For giving life a special shine;

I’m glad to have grandparents,

And happy you both are mine!

Grandparents Day is kinda bittersweet for me though as i have no grandparents left to share it with!

all you grandkids out there, don't take your grandparents for granted, they won't always be around, learn from them while you can, they are a great source of wisdom!

Thanks Hope, that explains why my oldest was here with our grandson...I had no idea!

That day should be made a big deal like Mother's Day and Father's Day. I was not even aware of it until today and I, too, am a Grandma. My grandparents have all passed away as well. They are remembered with love.

I never knew any of my grandparents except for one Granny, the others had all passed on before i was born!

i always missed having a grandfather, i think that would have been great!

my dad's father died when he was 14, my mom's father died 10 years before i was born, and my dad's mother died 2 years before i was born! so all i had was my mom's mother! she was great, she taught me how to cook, she used to stay with us some, she was like a second mother to me! (she told me once i was her favorite grandchild! shhhhh don't repeat it!) :wah:
