Best Grandparent Poems

Today I did something I had never done before...
I took a good look at the face of my grandchild and yearned for more.

Fearfully and wonderfully made was that child on my arm...,
But I am fearful because I know that his enemy wants to bring him...

Though I can't give a full account
		of all the Lord has given me,
		I can say that my list begins
		with life, His love, and family.

		I have a daughter, son-in-law,
		two grandkids, and fulfilling days.
		While parents work, I'm with the kids,
		a girl and boy I love to praise.

Grandparents old of grandparents new, 
The unique joy that you are bringing true.

Fairy tale's told in the rosy past, 
My first granddaughters are here at last. 

Fishing trips and ice cream cones, 
Lullaby...

Today you shower little faces with kisses
Piggy back rides and little messes....
Who notices???

Tomorrow you speak from your infinite wisdom
Your prayer is heard deep from within
Even though we may giggle
We love that you know and love Jesus.

You let me drive your old truck in the pasture
Laughed...

G-rand someone whose old but yet young, leading the youth with wisdom;
R-ossting royal comings to be completely bald, yet teaching the truth never fail;
A-ppraisals and appearances up keep while rallying children get off the streets;
N-ews today and days to sweep, remembering history and history feats;
D-oing...

We were visiting our granddaughter…it was nearing her 12th birthday
when we asked her what she wanted…but she was hesitant to say.

After a little coaxing on our part we finally got her to say… 
what she wanted was a birthday visit from…who else…Beyonce.

As her grandparents we...

Explaining grandkids to your friends
Who have none is, I find,
Like trying to describe chartreuse
To someone who is blind.

For your grandkids bring out feelings
That nobody else can match,
Laying bare an itch you never knew
You had, but now can scratch.

As a parent, you experience
The fiercest love and...

The babies are so much fun,
So cuddly and warm,
So snuggly, and wonderful,
So ugly when first born.

The babies are so loved,
So cherished, so alive!
But the newborns, with their cat-cries,
Are so annoying when they cry.

Yes, I will babysit your baby.
And we can play and sing and laugh.
I...

It was with a heavy heart I left the house, choosing no make-up in anticipation of the tears I might cry.
Being faithfully spiritual, I know the only death is to the body, not to the soul, but this is a child’s funeral.
Even if he is...

And so my brain prepared itself for a memory.
It knows how to now.
Instead of waiting for damage to remember along the lines, it just warned.
It warned of what was soon to come.
Death.
Of a grandparent.
Of a piece of gold embroidered into my veins.
A piece of gold...

It was a smell I was familiar with,
His smell.
But he had been gone for almost eight years,
And I had come to terms with it.
Or so I thought 

Until I smelled his smell.
Then it was a whole new ballgame.
Do not expect people to get over a...

With an open heart and a loving mind
Affection flowing from my grateful pores,
The sight that so beautifully spends my time,
Children laughing and playing out of doors.
Here I sit soaking in adoring sun,

Children playing silly games in my drive,
Having a world of good, clean fun
Innocent hopefulness...

Sunshine smiles of my inner soul
warming me in gentle, loving ways
I relish your vitamin D, Girlfriend.
Gracing my skin in a motherly way

Making me aware of my internal sisterhood connection
With my great-grandparents and my great-grandchildren

Connecting us as nothing else could.
Encouraging my cell soul connections
Feeling the Son...

This poem is actual words
From my 3-year-old grandson, Max.
You have to say them with pure
Excitement and energy for them
To make sense.
“Bubbles are super powerful
Like people, fans, and everything!”...

Baby GG is in the house
Born in beautiful month of March
Between winter and spring
No snow was on the dry grass
Gorgeous buds were emerging
And a new rainbow is on the arch.

Baby GG is indeed in the house
She is welcome by the whole family
She has an absolutely...
