Grandfathers

Grandfather, Grandpa or some are called Papa, what ever you call them , they are special. They are wise, know how to fix broken toys or broken hearts. They'll let you know your loved, not by words, but what they do. There will be money or candy in a pocket or two. He'll know when it's needed, just by looking at you. Some will attend games, cheer on the team, he'll give you some hints for the next time too. My Papa never plays favourites,not that he'll tell you so. My secret is this. I know I'm his favourite, and you do too. When I grow up, I hope some of me will be like him and my dad too. Copyright 2008 Anne Rutherford Poems From The Heart Series

My Granddaughter Erika calls use to call me Papa, of course my Grandson Brandon who the poem Sweet Child is about, does not call me anything yet, he can't talk yet. he will be one year old on June 10. but i will put your wonderful poem in my favorite list. thank you for commenting on Sweet Child.

Well sometimes I wish I could say this about either of my grandfathers, but I'm afraid one I never see and the other one could only be described by 'eccentric' still it really makes life interesting.

How wonderful you still have your grandfather, Anne. He sounds like a great man. My grandpa used to buy me penny candy, but he died when I was five and I never got to know the other grandfather. Surely, you will carry some of his qualities with you throughout your life. Great poem! Love, Carolyn
