Thankful, Day 3

Today I am thankful for my grandfathers and the memories I have.

me and my Pap, my mama's dad 1978

me and my Papa, my daddy's dad 1980

Grandfather smiles and Grandfather tickles,
Deep-throated chuckles and candy store nickels.
Wide-eyed in wonder at tales from the past.
A little one hoping the moment would last.
Calm words of wisdom to lead and direct,
Large hands held small ones to guide and protect.
Soft-whispered comfort and love that shone bright.
Warm, golden memories that shine like a light.
Watching and caring right from the start,
My Grandfathers love lives deep in my heart.
