Poems About Grandparenting
CHARLOTTE!
C'mon, gamma-poppop
hide, hide, hide!
Walk outside,
go up hill,
run down,
hold hand,
bubbles,
see ducks,
sit here, sit.
Hi gamma,
hi poppop,
play kitchen,
sit here, drink coffee,
necklace pretty,
dance, dance,
Francine, Max, Charlotte
spin around,
dizzy!
Take bath,
zurbit belly button,
ring around rosie,
read story,
more story,
say prayers,
hug, hug, hug,
nighty-night,
I love you!
Ride bike,
swing and slide - wheeeee,
make 'who who,' poppop,
c'mon, ducks, eat berries,
airplane, one - two,
big truck,
loud sound,
pretty flowers,
smell good outside!
Watch Minnie's Bowtique, poppop,
that tickle,
peek-a-boo,
march, march,
round and round it goes,
skin-a-ma-rinky-dinky-dink,
wibbleton to wobbleton,
where's Charlotte?,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 .
So much to see,
so much to do and play.
So much to hear,
so much to touch and taste.
Be present,
here, with me,
in this moment
Isn't it amazing?
Isn't life grand?
I love you.
I see you.
I want you to feel everything,
like I do.
Are you with me?
Now you are.
Now you see too.
No say bye-bye
gamma-poppop.
I love the way
you see ME,
and how you see with me,
like it's all brand new,
like you're seeing it
for the first time too.
Senses awakened.
No say bye-bye
gamma-poppop.
I love how you love me,
the way only gamma and poppop can.
I love how you want
to be with me every second,
watch every single thing I do,
hold me and never let me go,
and play all my favorite games.
No say bye-bye
gamma- poppop.
I love you,
you love me,
we're best friends,
like friends should be.
I love you,
and you love me,
and we're so happy
you can see,
YES, we're as happy as can be. ♥
