New Grandpa Poem
A Boy Needs a Grandpa is a heart-warming new grandpa poem that I give to new a grandpa upon the birth of his grandson. I print it in an attractive font and place it in a baby boy themed picture frame. After he reads this new grandpa poem, hand Grandpa some tissues.
A Boy Needs A Grandpa
A boy needs a Grandpa…
For man-to-man talks,
To go hand in hand
On companionable walks,
To fix up his toys
When they no longer go,
To tell him the things
Little boys want to know.
A boy needs a Grandpa…
To show him the way
To handle a puppy,
To teach him fair play.
To impart bits of wisdom
He’s learned through the years,
That it’s no disgrace
For a man to shed tears.
A boy needs a Grandpa…
To sit on his lap
And if no one is looking,
They take a wee nap,
Each wrapped in an aura
Of love and esteem,
Each smiling gently
At some special dream.

Studies have shown that children who have a Grandpa or Grandma, or both, to support and guide them in their emotional lives are more likely to do better in school and to stay out of trouble.
For Grandparents Day, why not start being a positive role model, a Grandparent, to a boy or girl who really needs one. Start something good…you could make a big difference in a young person’s life…and yours, too!
My grandsons love their Grandpa. He makes them feel special, does things they like to do, gives them tickles and hugs, good advice, and discipline when needed.
