GRANDMA'S HUGS ARE MADE OF LOVE!
Everything my grandma does
is something special made with love.
She take time to add the extra touch
that says, "I love you very much."
She fixes hurts with a kiss and smile
and tell good stories grandma-style.
It's warm and cozy on her lap
for secret telling or a nap.
And when I say my prayer at night,
I ask God to bless and hold her tight.
Cause when it comes to giving hugs
my grandma's arms are filled with love!

GRANDPA'S TOOL SHED
Grandpa's tool shed is a special place,
Full of mystery and delight,
Where little kids can come and watch
While Grandpa builds a kite.
Each day before the sunset,
Grandpa is always there,
The sound of his saw and hammer
Filling the evening air.
Grandpa can fix anything
And make it look brand-new-
He fixes toy cars and airplanes,
Trucks and trailers, too.
There are many happy moments
Pleasant to recall,
But Grandpa in his tool shed
Is the nicest one of all.

GRANDMOTHER
A grandmother who's special
Who's caring and sincere.
Who's always took good care of me
And always brought good cheer.
A grandmother who's loving
Who's patient and kind.
Who's always made me smile
And always on my mind.
A grandmother who's sweet
Who's gentle and polite.
Who's always made me laugh
After a scary night.
You'll always be the best
No matter where you are.
You'll always be in my heart
And in God's hands..
"I Love You Grandmother"

WHAT ARE GRANDMAS FOR?
Grandmas are for stories
about things of long ago.
Grandmas are for caring
about all the things you know...
Grandmas are for rocking you
and singing you to sleep,
Grandmas are for giving you
nice memories to keep...
Grandmas are for knowing
all the things you're dreaming of...
But, most importantly of all,
grandmas are for love.

WALKING WITH GRANDMA
I like to walk with grandma,
Her steps are short like mine.
She doesn't say "Now hurry up",
She always takes her time.
I like to walk with grandma,
Her eyes see 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 Grandma.
Unrushed, and young like me.
~Poem by Thena Smith~
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GRANDMOTHER...
(Written by 3rd graders)
She let's you put your vegetables
back in the pot
if you don't want to eat them.
She let's you have the the toys
that your mother
really didn't want you to have.
A Grandmother is one who comes to football games
and cheers when she doesn't know what is happening.
My Grandmother gives me candy and money,
my other Grandmother is just the same,
only she gives me meatballs and ice cream.
A Grandmother always thinks
that you are going to
get hurt playing football.
A Grandmother says she has a very good memory,
but she can't remember her age.
Usually a Grandmother is fat,
but not too fat to tie your shoes,
they wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums off.
Grandmothers don't have to be smart,
only answer questions like,
"Why isn't God married?"
and "How come dogs chase cats?"
Everybody should have a Grandmother,
especially if you don't have a television,
because they are the only grown-ups who have time.
