~¤~ Grandpa ~¤~
Grandpa was a story teller and could sing like a lark.
Grandpa loved people, would sit up till it was dark.
If anyone was around, he'd have a story or two.
Or he would turn on the radio to get another view.
There was no TV in those days of yore.
It was the 20s and 30s- who knew what was in store?
If he could see the world of today,
He'd get down on his knees and how he would pray.
To find peace in the world, less violence and strife.
To love one another, get those guns out of our life.
My Grandpa- and I bet yours too,
Would hope and pray these things will come true.
But now that you're a Grandpa too,
Is there anything at all that we can do?
To make our young Grandkis see what's ahead.
To try to be like Grandpa, and the life that he lead.
