The Grandfather

A grandfather
Is a little bit parent
A little bit teacher
A little bit soldier
And a little bit best friend.

His words are laws
To ponder with
To followed with
To learn with
To gain with.

He's the source of bread
A living example
A good provider
A good father
And a follower.

In him true men breed
The little ones look up to
The standard of maturity
The source all men of courage
The warrior leader of patronage.
