I found out before Christmas that I was gonna be a Grandpa. Found out this week that I am going to be Grandpa again! I can see a whole new world to write about.






What greater joy to fill the heart
Than for my eyes to see
New tender little branches
Sprouting on our family tree

Grandma will make them cookies
I’ll help them look for bugs
And then they can sit on my lap
And give me Grandpa hugs

This year when spring is over
And summers here you see
No longer will I be just Dad
Then Grandpa I will be

I bet you are studying up on how to be a great grandpa and planning on seriously spoiling them because they go back to their parents.

Congratulations, Jack. I look forward to your Grampa poems. This is a really sweet poem, Jack. You need to keep it and start books for your two grand babies, give them the books when they are all grown up but read them to them often as they do grow up. What a wonderful time for you!
Take care,
Sherry
