Grandpa Poetry
Guest Author - Danielle Hollister


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.

Signed,

Grandpa

GRANDFATHERS ARE FATHERS WHO ARE GRAND

Grandfathers are fathers who are grand,

Restoring the sense that our most precious things

Are those that do not change much over time.

No love of childhood is more sublime,

Demanding little, giving on demand,

Far more inclined than most to grant the wings

Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.

Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers,

Helping out with young and restless hearts,

Each has all the patience wisdom brings,

Remembering our passions more than others,

Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

WALKING WITH GRANDPA

I like to walk with Grandpa, His steps are short like mine.

He doesn't say "Now hurry up!" He always takes his time.

Most people have to hurry, They do not stop and see,

I'm glad that God made Grandpa "Unrushed" and young like me.
