Best Great Grandchildren Poems
To my Grandchildren, those great and beyond,
whom I will never meet
Know that I love you and have seen you in the
eyes of your parents when they were very small
I’ve heard your voices in the trees, when the
wind blows softly calling my name as I walk
I’ve seen your arms reaching out to me in my
dreams, as you cry “Papa" and then drift away
Your spirit is mine, as my spirit is yours; and no
lifetime can keep us apart
I watch over you now and will watch over you then,
whenever the need is great
I’m that voice you hear when no one else listens,
and no one else understands
And the heart that feels what you will feel, when no
one else seems to care

Dear little children,
playing in the sand,
God keep them in His kindness
and always give a hand
to keep them in His loving care.
Grant them a long life to live
and to know it is not what
they get but what they give
that makes life worthwhile.
God bless them all from above,
my little children whom I love.
To my Grandchildren, those great and beyond,
whom I will never meet
Know that I love you and have seen you in the eyes of your parents,
when they were very small
I’ve heard your voices in the trees, when the wind blows softly,
calling my name as I walk
I’ve seen your arms reaching out to me in my dreams,
as you cry “Papa” and then drift away
Your spirit is mine, as my spirit is yours; and no lifetime
can keep us apart
I watch over you now and will watch over you then,
whenever the need is great
I’m that voice you hear when you think no one else listens,
and no one else understands
And the heart that feels what you will feel
—when no one else seems to care

It is raining on the Expressway to debt
A temporary snag; we will still pay
The Chinese supervisor steps off set
His local crew have little say
A temporary snag; we will still pay
Three, nay, four generations watch
Our great grandchildren pay, they may
Loans taken with interest at a higher notch
Our great-grandchildren pay, they may
A kick back there, a deal sweetener here
Not consulted? An argument which holds no sway
The Chinese have you in their grip, severe
We have our own cost consultants here
The Chinese have you in their grip, severe
Our representatives were well informed
The verdict : the loan signatories over performed
To my Grandchildren, those great and beyond,
whom I will never meet
Know that I love you and have seen you in the
eyes of your parents when they were very small
I’ve heard your voices in the trees, when the
wind blows softly calling my name as I walk
I’ve seen your arms reaching out to me in my
dreams, as you cry “Papa" and then drift away
Your spirit is mine, as my spirit is yours; and no
lifetime can keep us apart
I watch over you now and will watch over you then,
whenever the need is great
I’m that voice you hear when no one else listens, and
no one else understands
And the heart that feels what you will feel, when no
one else seems to care

We are old MacDonald’s great-grandchildren
who help him in his fields during weekends,
We gather chopped hays and feed his chicken,
then watch him works with his farmers and friends.
We love working in the fields together,
We ride ponies and horses…we’re cowgirls!
We greet his hardworking farmworkers who’re there
while they cut rice straws with their sharp sickles.
Our grandfather owns large hectares of land,
Ranging from the foot of the blue mountain
to the spot where we, three sisters stand;
Tour around freely! Ride in his land train!
Beyond grandpa’s rice fields are big orchards,
And behind are gardens with vegetables
where we’ll immensely enjoy afterwards;
Healthy foods will be on our long tables!
Our grandpa is so happy to have us,
He says, “ With triplets grandkids, life’s so nice!”
So, when we go back to school he gives cash,
buys new dress, pair of boots and hair bowties.
We
await
our coming
great miracle-
making number five-
nearing the end of March.
More happy days to soon share-
adding new cheers with those before;
four great-grandchildren, three girls- one boy.
Soon, our new great-grandson marks number five.
