    Poems celebrating the love, care, and special bond that grandparents share with their grandchildren.

  1. Grandparents
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2020

    Grandparents are full of pride
    When that first baby does arrive
    They understand the meaning of love
    When they hold that baby sent from above.

    Grandparents can provide many things
    Love, affection and they may even sing
    They are always there to lend a hand
    And the grandkids learn that they understand.

    When the grandkids go to sleep
    They pray to the Lord for Him to keep
    They pray for protection and for smiles
    And to keep grandkids safe through all life's trials.

    Grandparents love to sing and play
    They are happy to see grandkids any day
    The smile that comes upon their face
    Makes grandkids welcome at their place.

    Grandparents share wisdom and advice
    They tell stories that are nice
    They share secrets about Mom and Dad
    They make grandkids happy and glad.

    Grandparents always care
    They are always willing and always share
    Grandparents say I love you more
    As you leave and go out the door.



  2. Grandchildren fill the hearts of a grandparent with love and lost youth. Kate Summers

  3. Grandparents Provide
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Grandparents provide love and care,
    Giving their time for the grandchild fair.

    Greeting each other with hearty hugs,
    Laughing as they search for frogs and slugs.

    They share advice when storms stretch too far.
    In their eyes, their grandchild is a star.

    Grandparents always give support and cheer,
    Sharing love that's so simple and clear.



  4. Grandparents Bestow
    Poet: Unknown


    Grandparents bestow upon their grandchildren
    The strength and wisdom that time
    And experience has given them.

    Grandchildren bless their Grandparents
    With a youthful vitality and innocence
    That helps them stay young at heart forever.

    Together they create a chain of love
    Linking the past with the future
    The chain may lengthen, but it will never part.



  5. Special Grandparents
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Grandma, you, and Grandpa are special to me
    With grandparents like you guys, how lucky can I be
    Part of your family I'm thankful I was born
    I never had to worry about being forlorn.

    You both provided love and so much care
    With you both, I was always happy and never scared
    The feeling of security and love
    For you both, I thank God above!

    May the love of our family surround you both
    May you see us all mature with loving growth
    May the days be happy ones for you and plus
    We love you both, you're so special to us

  7. Childhood Memories With Grandparents
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    In childhood's sweet embrace, we gather round,
    Midst autumn hues and laughter's joyful sound.
    Grandparents' love, a beacon through the years,
    Their wisdom held within our hearts so dear.

    Thanksgiving's feast brings memories so grand,
    Nostalgia fills the air as love expands.
    With gratitude, we share this sacred space,
    Blessed are we for moments with grandparents' grace.



  8. An Example
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    My grandparents have both passed away
    But I will always remember the days
    When I came to their home
    And my grandpa's hair I would comb.

    He only had a few strands of hair
    But he never seemed to care.
    Grandma would smile at me
    As I made Grandpa's hair fancy.

    These two people loved me so
    They didn't have to tell me I knew it so
    They always had time for me
    They spoiled me as a baby.

    A smile would light upon their face
    Whenever I came over to their place.
    They made me feel so special
    And encouraged me to reach my potential.

    I miss their loving arms
    Their wisdom and their charm
    But I know they are still watching me from above
    They filled my life with love.

    They set an example for me
    I now know what a grandparent should be!



  9. Treasures
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    We have treasures, not of money and gold
    Not of silver or things that we sold
    Our grandparents are a treasure for sure
    Because they love us and adore.

    No amount of money could buy
    And no amount of toys even qualify
    For the love they give us
    Is truly a life plus!

    We may not see them every day
    But when we do they will always play
    They always have time you see
    And always want us to be happy.

  11. Remember When
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Remember when I held my darling child?
    My heart so full of love and pride,
    Smiles, laughter, and memories so sweet
    Watching little ones grow, nothing could beat!
    But now our children have their own kids galore,
    What a blessing is a grandchild to adore!

  13. Cherished Bond
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Grandma and Grandpa, are so wise and so kind.
    Their love is unconditional, and security they provide.
    Compassion and strength, always an encouraging word
    Their home is a true haven, you are always heard.

    No wish too impossible or too small;
    Patience is immense as they accommodate it all!
    Appreciation we feel for their lifetime of grace;
    Our cherished bond will never be replaced!



  14. My Grandparents
    Poet: 10-year-old Tommy


    They always have a special treat
    And never make me wash my feet.
    They get right down on the floor
    Play with me and say no more.

    They watch over me
    Keep me busy as a bee.
    They laugh and sing
    And let me have the bell that rings

    I know they love me so much
    I can tell by their voice and their touch
    I feel so safe and happy with them
    They make me feel like a special gem.

    My grandparents are special to me
    They love me lots I can see
    I love them and think they are special too
    I thank them and love them for all they do.

  16. Grandmother and Grandfather
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    My grandmother and grandfather;
    They give so much care.
    For their grandchildren,
    They always have time to spare.

    From the moment I walk through their door,
    Feeling warm and welcome again.
    They make sure there’s lots of fun for me,
    Smiles and laughter never end.

    Grandparents have pieces of knowledge
    That no one can replace.

    Grandma and Gramps, they understand,
    Playtime here is always grand.
    They'll stop to give a hug and kiss,
    A listening ear that will never miss.

    The founders of a loving legacy, the greatest storytellers,
    The keepers of traditions that linger on in cherished memory.

  21. In My Heart
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    My grandparents are with God above
    But I can still feel their love.
    They showered me with wisdom
    Before they left for the Kingdom.

    Growing up they loved me so
    A love in action they did show.
    In their eyes, I could do no wrong
    They made me feel I belonged.

    They left a legacy in me
    They helped shape who I would be
    I miss them every day
    But in my heart, they will always stay.



  22. When We Are Old
    Poet: F. W. Sanderson

    When are we old? and how and where,
    When gray hairs steal in unaware?
    May it be known by signs of care,
    Or children's children here and there?

  24. Being A Grandparent
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2019


    In this journey of life, we have learned things
    But nothing prepared us for what grandchildren bring.
    It's been many a year since we looked after a small child
    Before our grandchildren life was so mild.

    But now with the grandkids, our life is full of pride
    We hope, we pray that as grandparents we wisely guide
    We love these little ones with all of our heart
    We think they are the cutest and they sure are smart.

    Life holds so many treasures but we want to say
    Being a grandparent is the best of all days.

    A treasure unmatched, a cherished grace.
    Grandchildren, joy's embodiment, pure and true,
    With laughter and wonder, they renew.

    A reward of life, this grandparent's bliss,
    Moments shared, sealed with a tender kiss.
    Through generations, an eternal bond,
    Being a grandparent, life's sweetest beyond.
