“I’ve watched you sleep, I’ve kissed you a million times and I know something you don’t yet;
You are writing the story of your only life, every single minute of every day.
And my greatest hope for you sweet child is I can teach you how to write a good one.”

A Grandfather is Someone With Silver in his Hair and Gold in his Heart

Pa-pa [pah-puh, puh-pah]
noun                              
1. The greatest man alive    
2. A mentor                      
3. A hero; plain and simple 

I like to walk with Grandpa,
His steps are short like mine.
He doesn't say "Now Hurry Up,"
He always takes his time.
I like to walk with Grandpa,
His eyes sees  things like mine do -
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.
Most people have to hurry,
They don't stop and see.
I'm glad that God made Grandpa,
Unrushed, and young like me.
