Short Poetry for Grandparents
Walk with Grandpa
I like to walk with Grandpa,
His steps are short like mine.
He doesn't say "Now hurry up!"
He always takes his time.
Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop and see,
I'm glad that God made Grandpa
"Unrushed" and young like me.
- By Rodney O. Hurd
A Poem
Grow Old
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith 'A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all nor be afraid!'
By Robert Browning
A Poem by Joseph Campbell
Old Woman
As a white candle
In a holy place,
So is the beauty
Of an aged face.
Unknown Face In The Picture
You see it with your inner eye,
A picture in the mind,
You don't remember where it came from,
Where it went or at what time,
You see the smile, you see the face,
And know that times go on,
You feel your smile, you know your face.
And think of times long gone.
- By Patricia Ayoola Ladipo
