This is doing well in the voting so far and deservedly so.
All the world over, the relationship between grandmas and grandchildren is special. Your poem is very eloquent about these bonds.
I missed out, not having grandparents when growing up as my adoptive parents were older, and also not having children myself... so I will have to take your word for it.

    My heart goes out to you and I know you didn't tell me for sympathy but I do feel bad for anyone who has never experienced this joy. However, there are so many children who are without someone to love them. I would not have to look too far to find a child I could be a surrogate to love. In fact, mine are getting older and I just may do that. I know you have mentioned to me about nieces and nephews or friend's grandkids, so I hope you have come close to some of them. I do wish you the best dear friend and thank you for your kind review.

Lovely children's rhyming poem and I love how you have used the different names used for grandmothers around the world. As I was reading I was imagining colourful artworks for the different verses. Very nice and good luck in the contest.

Hello author, this poem is absolutely beautiful and most heartfelt. I am sure that every grandmother can see herself in your poem. Your poem reads and flows well and has good rhyming. Your message is clear.

Of special note:
Her love is always special and it's different from the rest
Grandma thinks I'm pretty great, but I think she's the best

(You can bet your bottom dollar that I think they are the best.
Lol, but true. In my eyes, they can do no wrong. They only bring smiles.)

A poem of love. Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

I can really appreciate the content of this and how it resonates with me, as a grandfather and all the wisdom and love I'd like to share. Actually and honestly, I think you should work on making this a children's book with pictures showing all the cool things a little boy or girl does with grandma. Some great starter ideas here.

This is a wonderful rhyming poem for children, one of the best I've read. Being a new grandma myself, I can only hope that my granddaughter feels the same way about me. Best of luck in the contest.

    Jake, how sweet you are and I can't thank you enough for your kind comments for my grandma's poem. I had most of my friends here in mind when I wrote it. However I now have been asked to write a grandpa one. So I have to get a little info. Are you a grandpa and if so, what do they call you, and what is the best part? Thanks again my dear friend.

I like your poem. It's one I could see being turned into a children's book with each stanza illustrated with the corresponding grandma from each of the countries. Best luck with the contest.

    Andrea, how sweet you are and I can't thank you enough for your kind comments for my grandma's poem. I had most of my friends here in mind when I wrote it. And if you are a grandma, then that includes you. And if you are not, then you are still included in as my friends. Lol...thanks again Sweetie!
