Grandparents
bestow
upon their grandchildren
The strength and wisdom that time
And experience have given them.
Grandchildren
bless
their Grandparents
With a youthful vitality and innocence
That help 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...

GRANDPARENTS
Grandparents are special people
with wisdom and
pride.
They are always offering love and kindness and are always there to
guide.
They often make you feel so confident and strong.
Their arms are always open no matter what you did wrong.
They try to help out in every way that they can.
They love all their grandchildren the same whether you're a child,
woman or man.
They are always there to listen and to lend a helping hand.
They show you respect and they try to understand.
They give their love, devotion and so much more, that's easy to see.
Grandparents, what perfect examples of the kind of person that we
should be.

Grandma's Gift

My grandma made
a quilt for me
And on it sewed our family tree,
All stitched by hand with loving care
Around each piece and every square.
Quilts, what
treasures when they're old
If their stories could be told.
Some have crossed the prairies wide;
Seen this country side to side.
Women, well into
the night
Around a frame by candlelight,
Would gather for the company
And quilt for each new family.
So from their
lives the quilts were styled
Of satin, velvet, lace and lisle.
A dress becomes a Double Ring,
Rosettes from scraps of anything.
My quilt is framed in Ocean Wave;
Its cloth
from memories Grandma saved,
Saved them
each especially
Just to make
this quilt for me.
