Watching Saturday’s unhurried sunrise

Feeling gratefulness, spirit shall arise

Being retired, life moves at much slower pace

Realizing, there’s no need to win life’s race

Remembering grandfathers, crisp and clear

Teaching life lessons, steady and sincere

Growing up, learning from their example

Tasting life with every new sample

Loving family, with kindness and care

Treating marriage, with love beyond compare

Passing on wisdom, making good choices

Sitting here now, hearing cherished voices

Accepting their torch, these years move along

Being a grandfather, where love belongs

Filling up life, grandchildren sharing love

Joining other grandfathers, fits like a glove
