PROUD TO CALL HIM DAD
I planted my first acorn when I was only three
One of the first lessons my father taught me
He was an expert in how seeds germinate and grow
He thought this was something everyone should know
I waited patiently for the first leaves to appear
Then he showed me how to tend it with such loving care
I watched that sapling grow into a mighty tree
When I see it now it brings him into my memory
It reminds me of the love that he showed to me
Similar to the care I showed to that saplng tree
By reason of that love the tree reached maturity
And it’s survival to this day reminds me of his memory
It’s many years now since he passed away
But he still enters my mind nearly everyday
His passing was something that made me sad
But he was the one I was proud to call my dad

Poems about Grandfathers
One does not have to do anything to become a grandfather. It simply happens when your child has a child. It is up to you to decide how involved you will be in your grandchild’s life. There is an inherent biological relationship but the emotional bonding between grandfather and grandchild comes only with effort. It happens when the grandchild sees that you are open to forming a relationship. It happens when you get off your easy chair and make the effort to see what matters to your grandchild.
My Granddad
You are my Granddad
You are not just a fad
Like an x box, tablet or phone
I know you tend to groan
But you are my Granddad
Who makes me happy and sad
You can be very annoying
But when you’re in the bath
And I hear you sing
I am glad you are around
When I hear that sound
You are like a Victorian pear
You have always been there
Very mellow and soft to touch
Granddad I love you so much

My Dads Dad
My Granddad came to stay
My Dad bought him a card
I’m only four
And not sure
What this card was for
And this puzzled me
Was Granddad doing his family tour
I’m not sure
I’m only four
Was it Granddads birthday
So I asked my dad
To explain to me
What this card was for
He said it’s Fathers day
And your Granddad is daddy to me
