Let’s do it again PaPa Jerry
I wish I could fly clear up to the sun
Push me higher; it’s only just a little scary
But swinging is really so much fun
Round and round and round it goes
It’s really hard to keep it up
Hula-hoops are fun you know
But not for you ‘cause you’re all grown up
I’m tired now PaPa Jerry
I do not want to take a nap
My eyes are heavy and I am weary
Can’t I just sleep here on your lap
I’m not ready for our time to be through
I really wish that you could stay
Don’t you know how much I miss you
Every time you go away
aww I got a little blurry eyed and stuff nosed with this. makes me feel a little gentler towards my mum. I guess I know how she feels like from reading your beautiful words, though she never verbalises it. the truest love of all, grandpa to grandkids.

Each of them has their own special talent. Visiting them, is like a smorgasbord of emotions.

You all appear to be enjoying each moment Jerry. Beautiful poetry (it definately isn’t prose).

Thanks Davy. We were definitely enjoying the moment. Sadly, there are far too few of those moments.
