Poems About Grandfathers


A LETTER FROM GRANDPA

My generation just might have been lucky.

I had a drug problem when I was young.

I was drug to church on Sunday morning,

I was drug to church for weddings and funerals,

I was drug to family reunions no matter the weather.

I was drug to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.

I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers.

I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents.

Those drugs are still in my veins, and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think.

They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today's children had this kind of drug problem, the world might be a better place.

Love,

Grandpa
