Grandparents
Grandparents,
They love you no matter what
They listen to what you have to say
And give you advice you never want to let go of... even if you don't always take it... You will
NEVER forget it
They tell you the greatest stories
*The best ones are when they were a kid
and got into trouble for a similar thing you did*
They spoil you even when your parents tell them not to
Hey... they don't have to deal with punishing you!
Grandparents,
Always have a new trick up their sleeve to show you
Always have a honest wonderful smile to give you
Always give the greatest hugs
You never want to let go of them
And yet, we all have to remember that we cant hug them too tight...
They are very fragile!
Grandmas always have that old scent that they always use, it makes you want to sniff them
forever, that scent is there as long as they are! And when we smell other elders with that
wonderful scent, it makes us pull toward them... and say, "Hmmm, you smell like my
Grandma!" Then feel really embarassed because they aren't sure if thats a good or bad thing!
Grandpas... their prickly cheek is always a reminder of why girls are glad we dont have facial
hair! But yet, we tease them for it, hug them again and purposefully rub our cheeks together
just to feel it once more. And their old spices that they wear, makes us want to spray it on
one specific piece of clothing and go to it when we need to feel close to them.
Grandparents,
We keep them close
They keep us closer
We love them not matter what
And they love us for all that we are
They aren't afraid to say the truth
Even if they know it may hurt
Because they always have a big smile to give you
And the pain goes away the minute we see it.
Grandparents
Seem to be all alone, but yet never are when they have a big family of unending amount of
grandkids, and great-grandkids
They seem to have so much time on their hands but never enough
We never forget to say I love you, give them a big hug and kiss
Becuase we never know when they are going to say good bye for the last time.
I LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA! FOREVER AND ALWAYS!
