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.
