Grandpas are a special breed. They always have time for the grandkids. When the bike is broke or a kid wants to learn how to do something new, often it is Grandpa who has the time to help. Grandpa has learned what is important in life and takes the time needed to show his love.

 

 

A Tribute to Grandpa

 

Grandfathers like you are hard to find;
When God made you, He quit the line.

He gave you a heart as big as the earth,
And a soul so clean it's almost a mirth.

He made you a man full of pride and joy,
Like a little child with a brand new toy.

He gave you the time to fill everyone's need,
And the strength so their wishes you would heed.

But now, it's time for us to show you,
That there's always someone in love with you, too.

We may be young and frivolous and gay,
But we love you, Grandpa, day after day.
