To Grandparents
Few things are more delightful than grandchildren fighting over your lap.
~Doug Larson
This blog post is dedicated to baby boomers and all other grandparents who are raising grandchildren.
You are a unique group of people. You have dedicated your lives to raising your children, and now, you’re dedicating your lives to raising your grandchildren. Out of compassion, love and unselfish acts of kindness, you have taken on a new, but also continuing roll as a parent.
Some of you may not have even known your grandchildren before they came to live with you because they were living in a distant city, or even another state. However, you did what you needed and wanted to do, and that was to ensure your grandchildren had a safe, happy and loving home in which to go after they got out of school each day. So for all of you grandparents out there, I dedicate this to you.
A grandparent’s love is there everyday,
That’s why your children’s children are with you today.
A grandparent’s work is never done,
So always make time to have more fun.
A grandparent’s life is filled with joy,
When grandchildren are around, whether girl or boy.
A grandparent’s home is warm and caring,
Your grandchildren do appreciate your giving and sharing.
A grandparent’s heart is filled with love,
Because grandchildren are like angels who were sent from above.
Whether you are Grandma or Grandpa or Nana or Pops,
Your grandchildren will always think you’re the tops.
If you and your grandchildren are separated by miles,
Then tap into technology to bring both of you smiles.
Keep faith and hope and joy in your heart,
Because your grandchildren were blessings right from the start.
