Grandparents Poem by Aoife Semple

Grandparents are special
in so many different ways,
Their hearts are filled with love
and they brighten up our days.
Grandparents are great listeners
when we need them to advise,
Because they're always understanding
and are truly very wise.
Grandparents have great smiles
because they've been smiling for so long,
And they even make us smile
when everything is going wrong.
Few can bring the warmth
that can be found in their embrace,
And little more is needed to feel loved
than the smile on their face.
They're a supply of precious stories
yet they've time to wipe a tear,
And give us reasons to laugh
as they grow more precious through the years.
Nobody can do for grandchildren
what grandparents are willing to do,
Because grandparents sprinkle stardust
over our lives in all that we do.
Grandparents are so generous
and they make sure we have the best,
So I'm thankful for my grandparents
and I know I'm truly blessed.
May the land yield unto them
a perfumed garden always growing,
With a warm breeze and a quiet sea
that's filled with love overflowing.
