Through the Eyes of Wisdom
My Grandfather’s knowledge being a preparation to achieve
Through my Grandfather’s guidance, a method in how I should proceed
It was pick a word from the dictionary, and find out’s its definition and add to vocabulary
My Grandfather taught me typing everyday for 4 hours
He wanted me to be able to type to perfection
The obvious being the indication
Inspiration coming to participate
My Grandfather wanted me to be up to date with business affairs
This was my Grandfather’s philosophy he wanted to share
He often said whatever young people are doing wrong, and I wanted you to be educated where you belong
Then it was off to College in getting Higher Education to preserver
All the above I did
I have no regret and thank myself for making the try
But my Grandfather wanted me to have more
So it was the Piano and Organ he wanted me to explore
The Career my Grandparents wanted to too strive was to be a “Court Reporter”
Well I didn’t go quite in that order
I wanted to go into a totally different field
It was to be a “Broadcast Journalist” which I felt would be ideal
However I did achieve in business detail
My Grandfather and God are who helped me preserver
My Grandfather’s motto, “You are going to remember this old man”
He is in Heaven but he was the truth in my establishment caravan.
