A Handfull



He's fun, he's bright, he's full of fight, but gentle as can be.
He will scream and shout and talk about whatever he will see.
He walks around like he owns the place and tells all what to do.
His gentle smile says it all with those beautiful eyes of blue.
He comes to stay, never wanting to leave, and that's ok with me.
We sing, we dance and watch TV, he means the world to me.
We laugh and hug and have a world of fun.
There is no other than a grandson.

George Vega Sr.
