Grandfather
Grandfathers , Grandpa or some are
called Papa, what ever you call
them, they are special.
They are wise , know how to fix broken
toys or broken hearts.
They let you know your loved ,not by
words but what they do.
There will be money or candy in a
pocket or two.
He'll know when it's needed just
by looking at you.
Some will attend games and cheer on
the team, he'll give you some hints
for the next time too.
My Papa never plays favourites, not
that he'll tell you so.
My secret is there,
I know I'm his his favourite and
you do too.
When I grow up ,I hope
some of me will be like him,
and my Dad too.
