Grandpa & grandma just
who are they . . .
only two aging seniors
who'll soon fade away ~

OH ~ NO, they are MORE
so much more than this ~~
they're the ones our hearts long
for when we need a kiss ~~~

When that boo~boo is hurting
the one on our knee ~~
when breath was knock'd out
'pon encountering that tree~~~

It's those heart~warming smiles
that shine ear~to~ear ~~
and that wrinkl'd hand drying
each embarrassed tear~~

It's grandma in her kitchen
baking , cookies and cakes ~~
Special treats of all kinds
Just for our sakes ~~~

Time spent with grandpa
playin' hand after hand . . .
of dominoes and checkers
Oh ~ isn't it grand ~

It's the stories they tell , we've
heard so many times ~~
And that pocket of change
Nickels, quarters and dimes~~~

Yes, our grandparents give
love that no one can measure
Thank You, Lord, for this GIFT
A PRECIOUS CHERISH'D
TREASURE !
