William Darnell Sr Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Every grandchild needs a grandpa. Whether biological or not. Grandchildren deserve grandparents in their lives. They need all that I have mentioned in my poem to my grandsons. And each has there own framed copy on parchment signed by this Grandpa. I have written one for my granddaughters as well.

Grandpa

Grandpa

My grandsons,
Lee, Eoin, Christopher, Rowick.

A boy needs a Grandpa, 
for man-to-man talks. 

To go hand in hand, 
on companionable walks. 

To fix up his toys, 
when they no longer go. 

To tell him the things, 
little boys want to know. 

A boy needs a Grandpa, 
to show him the way. 

To handle a puppy, 
to teach him fair play. 

To impart bits of wisdom, 
he's learned through the years.

That it's no disgrace, 
for a man to shed tears. 

A boy needs a Grandpa, 
to sit on his lap. 

And if no one is looking, 
they take a wee nap. 

Each wrapped in an aura, 
of love and esteem. 

Each smiling gently, 
at some special dream.

Kim Rodrigues November 11, 2020 at 5:48 PM I am smiling on the inside. I too love being a Grandma! I’ll scream it to the heavens! William Darnell Sr November 16, 2020 at 12:41 PM Good for you, even though I haven't physically seen all of them, I have met three. But, I had a favorite, and she won my heart since she arrived in this big old world, which I believe you may know about; she just passed away on August 27th. 9 months old. Wednesday would have been her first birthday. And that was really hard on me, but it was ok cause I knew our God had her. At least I had the pleasure of my Gracie and me to bond, and it wasn't fair cause I sent her stuff all the time and spoiled her. We had our video time. But I am thankful. Have a great week, Kim! Best of Wishes, William

Happy Thanksgiving ~ LINDA William Darnell Sr December 16, 2018 at 8:19 PM And these two grandsons born the same year are my first grandchildren. Haven't seen one other than via pictures.
