Grandfathers.
Skinny or hefty,
They’re all huggable.
Calm or shifty,
They’re all decisive.
Harsh or gentle,
They’re all friendly.

Grandfathers.
Healthy or sick,
They’re all fun.
Conceited or meek,
They’re all considerate.
Stable or mental,
They’re all wise.
Grandchildren or not,
They’re still grandfathers.

They all have a story. They’re all trying to make a difference in our “busy” lives. Whether its something they love to tell everyone about our childhood (that embarrasses everything out of us) or some advice they have about our future, we have to lend our ears.

A grandfather’s old view,
Could make the world
Wise and new.
