Grampa's Promise

One day I may be gone but I’ll be forever by your side I’ll watch you grow Look out for signs Somehow I’ll let you know I’m there and proud of you Proud of the man you are becoming As you strive to dream and Make those dreams come true I aspired to the day I’d shake your hand And offer words of wisdom I’ve lived a life That’s served me well Things weren’t always easy But I pursued my dreams And the best of those Were seeing you rise to become The man you are becoming One day I may not be there But forge ahead, grandson Make your own path The world is yours To conquer Published in my photo/poetry book ~RANDOM MUSINGS VOL.4~ 2020 Submitted on March 23, 2020 for contest STRAND CHOICE O sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - HONORABLE MENTION Originally posted on March 6, 2020

Very lovely poem. What is more precious to a soul than a grandchild? I'm waiting till I become a grandma, but I'm sure I'll share these sentiments.
