Pictures On the Wall

Gray haired man hobbling down the hall Forty years of pictures hanging on the wall From diapers to kindergarten and their very first bike That time at the beach when we flew our first kite Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts, T-Ball & soccer Dressed up on Halloween as a little punk rocker Camping trips & Disney World more than I can count These were my best years without a doubt Grammar school, high school, college then gone Married your sweethearts & have your own little home A timeline of treasures with family and friends It seems like yesterday when we first moved in As I gaze over the memories of the ones I adore A tiny little human comes crawling on the floor Grandpa! I love you! The little child speaks As the tears of joy flows down my wrinkled cheeks.
