Happy Fathers Day Grandpa

A chapter in the book Children young and old

Grandpas Around the World

by Debi Pick Marquette


 I did Grandma's poem and I was asked to do one more
To show how much grandpas are loved and I could not ignore

All around the world, so many have a different name 
He's special to his grandkids but the love is all the same

One of my grandgirls had called my dad, Grand-Papa Pick
It didn't take too long to see that title for him stick

When Poppy tells his stories, he has treats and lotsa fun 
He teases and he tickles, then they soon are on the run

 For some, their time more precious, maybe is just once a year
Time together goes too fast, makes Poppa shed a tear

Help in veggie garden with your gramps to grow your own 
Awesome time together and will keep them off their phone

  In the country, Ga-ga helps to catch some lightning bugs
They hold their arms wide open when you go to give them hugs

Bapa teaches many things, but faith is number one 
Saba feels the same way for the Father and the Son

Granddads have such patience as they teach the kids to fish
When they help to clean and fix, they think that it's delish

There's nothing like sporting events that makes a gumpa shout
 Proud to see their sportsmanship, it's what it's all about

Being a Boppy should be fun, he has a special place 
He teaches love of music and he gives them lots of praise

Paw Paw had a great big heart and loved his sweet grandkids
But sadly, left the world too soon and now he sure is missed

 Whether you are east or west, down south or north above
It doesn't really matter, 'cause we know grandfather's love

They are loved around the world, so I just have to say
I wish all of the grandpas here, a Happy Pappy's Day!
