The Big Ol'E Gigantic Wave

Grandpa and I 
Went to the beach
One Beautiful summer day

Grandpa went down
To the waters edge
I stayed in the sand to play

Then came a wave
That seemed to roar
Full steam ahead
Right towards the shore

I tried to yell …
I was just a kid…
“Wave, Grandpa, Wave!”
And Grandpa did….

While facing the shore
With his back to the sea
Grandpa smiled
And waved at me!

I still recall
And won’t forget
How that wave
Got Grandpa wet!

Hi again. I wanted to truly express what your poem meant to me... "After bearing bad news my spirit fell from grace_ twas hidden within a dismal place_ A giant wave, grandpa and a child's innocence returned the smile to my face_ in peaceful slumber twas laid to rest_ a heavy burden off my chest_ Surely a kiss from Heaven for I am truly blessed"

I love the surprising ending. My pc is running very slow due to the weather. Oh nooo! I thought... what happened to grandpa while his back was turned to the oncoming giant wave???... whew, he only got wet. Very wet at that! So glad for grandpa. I was so afraid he'd gotten washed out to sea... he's safe. Hugs and cocoa grandpa. Happy ending.
