Best Grands Poems

"Those were better times. Good times!
Being round my grands…

It reminds me of my grandparents;
Grandma, baba, ouma, bomma grandmother;
Love to read poems sing them ole time songs;
So much love they given each of us;

Those were better times. Good times!
Being round my grands…

Yet they were stern
Great teachers...

One of my grandsons, name of Benjamin
He likes eating toast made with cinnamon
But uses his wits
To not eat his grits
Then excuses himself like a gentleman

Charlie thrives on competition
Out smarting you is his mission
Bear hugs
Tiny bugs, 
And “stick to it” repitition

William’s impish smile is contagious
The attention...

To Winkin’
Blinkin’
and of course nod.
In terms of 
symmetry
prose and 
shish kabob. 
The tricks and twirls 
and polar light;
the flip and flare and star
of kiddy sleepless night
can rip and roar
and rankle up
a juicy fight,
in the twinkle of an eye.
Forget wit and woe
and places to and fro...

coffee best describes
papa joe's essence for me
coffee kisses- YES

fertilizer stink
paternal grandaddy smell
famous tomatoes

noxzema only 
for miss toby before bed
shakey hands slicked up

but then grandmama
whew! peach cobbler first of all
sweet corn, pot roast, ham

oh man, those fried pies
blackberry and peach goodness
beautiful mem'ry...

First the ride (with kids' CDs)
Then supermarket (mini-cart);
Buying lots of food to please 
Then snacks and playground, for a start.

Books and Curious George on tape,
Dinner, Face-Time Mom & Dad;
From routines a great escape.
What a time we all have had!

Baths and bedtime story, then
Hugs and kiss...

I Miss My Maternal Grands
----------------------------------------
That big red cock with long beard
And sturdy limbs 
Crowed every minute, haha!
In loud voice like the growling lion claiming his kingdom .
Danced around and romanced  and ...!
Those dozens of hens dust-bathed 
In the calm middays in the shady backyard...

”Oh! Man, these golden rods
Hot and full of butter lots
Salted just rightly
I hold ever so tightly
Even Butch and Bailey my dogs
Licks their lips for the flavor
Wishing I’d just drop one
No! Boy, ain’t gonna happen this I’m gonna savor
Grands Munz is holding 5 more
I’m hoping I’ve...

Yogurt smoothies, Cocoa Puffs,
Mac & cheese and chicken;
Mushrooms, couscous, turkey (sliced)
And lots of snacks for pickin’.

Cheetos, corn chips, Goldfish,
Peaches, olives and a plum;
Watermelon, cantaloupe
And still, there’s more to come…

Swiss cheese, pickles, Kit Kats
And some mini ice-cream cones;
Yummy corn still on the cob,
Organic milk for bones.

Sautéed...

GRANDS OF GLOCKENSPIEL 

O beloved grands of glockenspiel,
a mallet never gave such pleasure,
as when those filled with innocence
expound a bell-like sound, the ring of laughter
caught between the door and walls.

A magical metallophone of minds,
curious with over the rainbow octaves,
living in a harmonious fantasy, of which
g-rents...

Les petites pépites de temps mènent à de GRANDS RÉSULTATS
 

je désirais accomplir une seule chose par jour
je croyais avoir perdu la tête
à la fin de chaque journée
je ne pouvais comprendre comment c’était possible 
d’avoir encore réussi à ne pas accomplir
la seule chose que j’avais...

The grand of grands is left to die.
A piano too large to heave
can only stand as time goes by
in a scene where one would grieve.

It once made melody so fine.
The grand of grands is left to die.
Without skilled hands to touch its kind.
To see it...

Eleven years ago tonight,
Our son and his new bride
Exchanged their vows to start their life
Together, side by side.

Today, they’re off to celebrate,
A mini-trip away
So with our grandkids (8 & 6)
We have the chance to stay.

It isn’t like the days gone by
When nanas merely cooked.
In modern...

My dear children and grandchildren too.
From my heart, I speak to you.
No matter what any human says or do.
Only the Love of God is true.
When humans turn and walk away.
You'll find it's only He who'll stay.
You'll never, ever be alone.
Love cannot abandon One of His...

Storms are troubles that are a part of your life.
They pass through from nowhere, in their wake is strife..
Pain and suffering may result and sometimes loss.
There is coverage left for you, at the foot of the Cross.
Nothing to put down, Someone already paid your cost.
We'll...
