A Grand Dad

Granddad

"Be careful what you wish for.
You just might get it!"









I gotta tell you of this dream I had
I always wanted to be a grand Dad.
A dream I never ever hid.
Guess what, God blessed me and I did.

He filled my life with lots of girls and boys
They were, they are, my pride and joys.
They made me a proud and happy Dad
I say the best any Dad ever had.

I looked forward to being a granddad
Not only that, but a great granddad.
Life was wonderful, a better life no one’s ever had.
Then I started to count and the number grew
Most people say that that ain’t anything new.

No one was ever happier and that feeling tarried
As each of them grew and later married.
Then the blessings were coming more and more
As the kids’ kids came by the score.

All of a sudden I realized a dream coming true
While I watched as my kids’ kids grew.
And my dream never tarried as the kids’ kids married
Happy am I that the dream I had had never varied.

I don’t want to brag but I must, because of the wish that I had
Praise the Lord! I AM a great granddad.
