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.
