Nana and Grandad

My Nana and my Grandad
They really are the best
And when they give me cuddles
I know that I am blessed

We have lots of fun together
We like to laugh and play
They always make me smile
And can chase the grumps away (more…)

Grandfather, you are someone who is very special to me.
All my life, I’ve been able to count on you to listen,
to understand, and support me through everything.
So even though I might not tell you as often as I should,
don’t ever think for a moment that I don’t appreciate you…
because, as far as I’m concerned,
you’re the best Grandfather there is.
I love you!

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. (more…)

If I knew it would be the last time
That I’d see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day. (more…)

We celebrate our GrandMothers on Mother’s Day in May and GrandFathers on Father’s Day in June. Words alone cannot express our love and respect for our grandparents. We should also express our feelings through the way we treat those we love, often - not just a few times a year. Set an example for your children and grandchildren ~ give something of yourself by helping your loved one, an elder neighbor, or friend with chores, shopping, or paperwork on a schedule they can count on. And, when you have time, take them out for lunch, a drive, or a show. If your loved one or friend, can’t get out easily, bring lunch, flowers, and a video and treat them to “in” events to brighten up their days. There are many grandparents living in nursing homes that don’t have visitors, even on special days. Contact a local nursing home or assisted living facility to get permission to visit.

Here are a few poems to celebrate our grandmothers and grandfathers: (more…)

 This page is dedicated to all the wonderful Grandparents past, present, and soon to be. Poems are a wonderful way to express our feelings for our loved ones.  Write a poem to your grandparent and publish it on Nana’s Corner.

Grandma Days

Grandma days are happy days…
We have so many ways to play.
When are you coming to visit me…
Can it be soon, can it, please?
Reading, cooking, drawing with you…
Climbing, jumping, exploring, too
When’s the next time we can play…
Can it be next Saturday? (more…)
