A Song for Grandparents

Lyrics by John Riggio

You spend time with me,

you see the best in me,

and you’re great to be around.

You read books to me,

you want me to succeed,

and your wishes for me grow far.

So thank you grandma, thank you grandpa,

I am so very proud you’re in my life.

I just have to let you go.

You have fun with me,

you take me out to eat,

and I like when we hang out.

So thank you grandma, thank you grandpa,

I am so very glad you’re in my life

and I love you very much.

Grandpa Never Sleeps

By Mark Burgess

Grandpa doesn't sleep at night,

He never sleeps a wink.

Instead he tinkers with the car

Or mends the kitchen sink.

Sometimes he picks fruits,

Or polishes the floor.

And other nights he's shopping,

At the local all-night store.

Last night he papered half the hall,

And built a garden shed.

But when the rest of us got up,

He didn't go to bed.

I don't know how he does it.

He's always on the go.

Grandpa never sleeps AT ALL--

At least. I think that's so...

Grandmas 

By Mary Ann Hoberman

My grandma's face is rosy red；

She wears a scarf around her head.

And when she tucks me into bed,

She plants three kisses on my head.

And in the spring she always makes

A garden which she hoes and rakes;

She rubs my tummy when it aches,

And bakes me special birthday cakes.

My other grandma's face is pale;

She sends me letters in the mail:

She taught me how to play the scale.

And once she wrote a fairy tale.

She knits me mittens,scarves,and socks.

She helps build castles with my blocks.

And when I got the chicken pox,

She let me have her button box.
