The Blessings of Grandfathers Beautiful Lies

Impressionable young hearts do tell the grandest lies When learned from grandfathers with sparkling eyes Grandfathers living renewed through the breath of a grandchild Oh grandfathers’ whoppers told in all kindness and glory The bigger the whopper makes the child’s lies the cute little story Thus the grandchild’s faith breeching walls of reasonable reality Simply because beloved grandfather had told the story My grandfather said it was so- tiny voice of pledged belief And I believe him -for grandfather would never lie to me So sleep little one- dream the telling’s of funny grandfathers beloved For their little lies to you are meant to not make you a worried But make you believe in the impossibilities of grandeur and extravagance There is a Santa Clause The fish really was so big it couldn’t fit in the boat I wrestled a grizzly when I was just about your age For in the telling of such blessed little lies A remembrance of grandfather will never die The wisdom and laughter thus remembered in each time’s telling Will warm you over and over- as little lies do you begin the telling
