Once Upon a Time

Once a week the grandson comes to Granny's 
He loves to get special treats tucked away 
Searching every nook and little crannies
Then while he snacks he loves to play, play, play..

Last week his day at Granny's house involved
Outside play, some time reading tractor books
Then in a few minutes truck play evolved
Through all of them he loves to look and look

Then he left granny's house and headed home
With memories of what happened there
He wanted to talk to Granny on the phone
He asked," With what truck are you playing and where?"

I told him, " I'm not now playing with a truck
but with Neopet; soon I'll get the fire truck stuck."

I have many memories of when I went to grandma's house and played, just like your grandson did that day! Don't you love all those memories that you made with him...they will remain with him for the rest of his life, it means that much to him, trust me it does! I really enjoyed reading this terrific poem here this evening! You have masterfully crafted a sentimental piece here my friend! What a superior poem, Great Work!!
