Granpa, Granpa,
Why are your eyes so blue?
Granpa, Granpa,
Why is there a hole in your eyes?
Grandpa, Grandpa,
My eyes are better than yours.
Grumpy Grandpa,
You've got nothing behind those eyes.
I remember those days.
From tot to teens.
Now I see clearly,
Your eyes have seen history,
And have everything,
Eons of history
To make me partly the way I am

I am a grandfather (grandpa) of 9 children from one family of an adopted son, so I could relate very well to this charming poem. "Your eyes have seen history" packs a punch. Good stuff. John
