Grandparents' Breakfast

This week has been very exciting.  Wednesday morning children and their grandparents came to Cold Spring School for breakfast, crafts and the book fair.  It was a pleasure for me to meet so many of my students' grandparents.  There is nothing like the relationship between a child and his or her grandparent.

I found the following poem online.  It made me stop and smile.

Grandma hold me

a little longer,

Rock me a little more.

Tell me another story...

(you've only told me four!)

Let me sleep

on your shoulder.

I love your happy smile.

I'll always love you Grandma

so stay with me a while.

These words also spoke to me:

I like to walk

with Grandpa…

He takes his

time you see

His steps are

little just

like mine;

He stops and

waits for me.

He lets me ask

him questions

He lets me hold

his hand.

He makes me

feel 10 feet tall

And I think that

he is grand.

He says there’s

no one like me

And gold is

what I’m worth.

When I get to

walk with

Grandpa

I’m the luckiest

kid on earth!
