Dedicated to my two granddaughters Jaime Lee and Lily Pearl...

Who Am I?


 


Hello grand-daughters dearest,


I’d like to tell you who I am and what’s in my head


I’m the other guy, you may not remember me,


who cried beside your delivery beds


 


I’m the old guy with the grey beard


the shiny cue ball head without the hair


Holding you in so many pictures reading a story


tucking you into your little beds my dears


 


I’m the one who always worried and fretted


whenever I knew one of you were sick


The one your Mommas always called first


cause they knew I’d show up super quick


 


I’m the one who’s finger you guys stretched


an inch always tugging me here and there


The guy who always ate your soggy food


that you would insist that I must share


 


I’m the one that drove that old red jeep


that you always called vroom, vroom


The one who’s heart would fill with pride


when one of you would run to me across a room


 


I’m the writer and the author of rhymes and poems


And songs bout you that made me glad


Cause I’m also the guy on the jacket of the book


I wrote for your great granddad


 


I’m the one your Momma called her Dad,


your Nana called be other things do tell


You began at one year old to call me Boppa


I can hear you call it still.


 


Love forever,


Boppa

So sweet, Felix. Bittersweet for me, thinking of the grandfathers I never knew and the loss of my children's grandfather. Brought tears. They will treasure these writes of yours someday. Bless you, "Boppa"...

Felix,

What a beautiful dedication to your lovely granddaughters! You have painted quite a picture of a truly remarkable Grandfather. I hope that I am still around when my children have children so that I can be a loving Grandparent. I am a step-grandmother to Tom's grandchildren and I love being with them. Keeping up with the little ones keeps one young (or at least young at heart ...LOL)! Thank you for sharing a precious part of your life.

My children lost their grandparents at an early age and can't remember them. I try to tell them things about them so that they will know what they were like. This is such a great way to tell your little ones about you. They don't have to have a poem to tell them about you, they have you. Very good. Karen

I never met my grandparents and I don't have grandchildren (yet). This is a loving gift for your grandaughters, Felix. Thank you for sharing it. Love and peace to you. Regis

Is this a test? I am going to guess that the answer to the question is "The awesome threesome." This is a wonderful poem of rememberance for your grandchildren, Felix. I was not very old when my grandpas departed for the other side, but I have wonderful memories of them both.
Take care,
Sherry
