1. Bouquet of Good Intentions – Cheryl L. Delcour

When I peeked out the window,
there was my little man,
my grandson stood there
with flowers in his hand.

His eyes how they sparkled
as he grinned from ear to ear.
His thoughtfulness was so kind,
down my cheek fell a tear.

As I opened the door
and squealed with delight,
we exchanged kisses
as I hugged him so tight.

He proudly held up tulips
with their green long leaves
as the dirt-covered bulbs
waved in the breeze.

When he left with a baked cookie in his hand,
my feelings were somewhat marred.
I wondered how he got this flowery gift
and from which neighbor’s yard.

And I hold that gift close every time you are near.

There is magic in the sound you bring to the day.

And it warms the quiet hours in the softest way.

You are a reminder that life keeps offering new beginnings.
Your presence brings light to days that feel heavy.
And your smile rises like a gentle sunrise in my mind.

To guide you when you need it and listen when you speak.
To cheer for your dreams no matter how big they grow.

1. Well Played – Lin Lane

A soccer player at the age of three
with a cherub face and dimpled knee
this child was born from my progeny

Intently focused on kicking the ball
his aim was straight and he didn’t fall
“SCORE!” everyone laughed at the call

Four goals that day he proudly made
but two for the other team, I’m afraid
He didn’t care. Nor did I. Well played!

2. Jabberwacky – Andrea Dietrich

I know a scamp who chortles frabjously
as in the springtime galumphing he goes.
And just to show how wacky he can be,
he makes his tongue point up to touch his nose!

He has no wicked claws or eyes with flame
to match those of the manxome Jabberwock.
But just beware his jaws. Although he’s tame,
he can’t be stopped once he begins to talk!

I vouch that he can jabber endlessly
and have me at the end of my short rope.
My ears just might fall off one day, for he
gyres gibberish just like a gyroscope.

I dub my beamish grandson “Jabberwack”
for how he acts and how he loves to yak!

3. Bubble Trouble – Gary Wayne Hill

Luke always likes
To try out something new
And today he decided
That he would drink shampoo

Of course it made him feel quite sick
But that’s the least of all his troubles
Because now every time he opens his mouth
Out float a million bubbles

And bubbles come from his nose
And bubbles come from his ears
And now every time he cries
He cries bubbles instead of tears

I don’t think he will again
Put shampoo in his tum
Especially now that bubbles
Are coming from his bum

Though I suppose there is a bright side
He’s sure to impress his friends
When they see that Luke
Can blow bubbles from both ends.

4. First Day at School – Gary Wayne Hill

It’s Luke’s first day at school today
I wonder how he’s getting on
I hope he is behaving himself
I hope the crayons haven’t all gone

Because Luke is partial to crayons
He seems to just love wax
He sees a pack of crayons
As some exotic snacks

I wonder if he will make a friend
I hope he’s not a bully
No, Luke is far too nice for that
So I guess I shouldn’t worry

He looked really cute in his uniform
Smart jumper, trousers and sandals
But he will be home for tea real soon
So I’m off to hide the candles.

5. Outsmarted – Randy Steele

My grandson just loves to make noise
The louder the better his toys
His batteries I hide
The noise still resides
Turns out that I hid his decoys

Grandson Poems From Grandma

1. Letter to My Grandson – Susan L. Schmidt

By the time you read this, you will be a big boy.
I know you will be kind, funny, wise, sensitive, interesting, and a ball of fire!
Your parents are all of these things.
I know you will be strong and a wonderful hugger.
Your father was and still is.
I wish you happy, happy, days! You will have some bad days, yes.
They are important so you can appreciate the good ones.
There will be disappointments; I know you will be able to handle them.
Granny always says, “Life is 10% of what happens and 90% how you handle it.”
I pray you learn about humility.
Please always let an outsider feel inside, and always, always be kind.
I hope you learn that honesty is the best policy,
And that doing a hard day’s work will always make you feel better.
Be a loyal friend, one people can count on and trust.
I hope you put all of these wonderful things you possess
To make yourself and the world around you a better place to live in.
Please learn about the “God Stuff;” it really works, trust me.
You have such a wonderful mother.
She will be the one to teach you all the good things in life.
Remember how to play, for you are in for a loving time.
I hope we will be close always.
I can’t wait to see you. I love you already.

2. A Grandmother’s Love – Jacqueline D’Angelo

Two little boys they used to be,
one was seven the other was three.

They were always with one another day after day,
their smiles and laughter in my heart will forever stay.

No one can ever take all the good memories away from me,
the love I have for them will forever be.

For only God knows and understands us,
to be in each other’s lives is always a must.

A grandmother’s love always comes from the heart,
and God willing, it will never ever part.

One day when they are older and then you will see,
all the love and good memories they have of me.

It’s the times we shared that they will always have this heart of mine,
even with our good days and bad days
I know our love for one another will last till the end of time.

3. Death by Cartoon Sponge – Janice Canerdy

“More Spongebob, Mimi”–this I hear
a dozen times a day.
How much more can I stand to see?
No more of this, I pray!

I turn the TV off and run
to fetch his favorite toys.
When he says, “Spongebob’s much more fun,”
I must seek other ploys.

“A Krabby Patty’s what I’d like,”
he says of noontime’s meal.
The common lunch I fix the tyke,
he eyes with little zeal.

The Krusty Krab invades my sleep,
and Squidward haunts my dreams.
Those creatures from the ocean deep
won’t leave me be, it seems.

Can cartoon sponges start a trend
of death by kiddie show?
If SpongeBob’s laugh can cause the end,
I’ll be the first to go.

4. Little Man Grown – Panagiota Romios

Thirteen years ago, he picked up a bat!
In love, he knew where his future was at.
In Major League Baseball, you get it?
Six-feet, tall now, he can really, hit it!
But this Grandma, misses her little tyke,
Who rode a tricycle and flew a silver kite.
He’ s a player on junior varsity these days.
And in other states, baseball with joy, plays!

5. A Love That Stays – Margaret Ellison

My love for you rests quietly in every day.

It grows with each new memory we make.

It stays steady through seasons and years.

And it wraps around you in the softest way.

You are a piece of my heart that walks freely.

You carry our stories into the future.

You remind me that love can last forever.

And I cherish the gift of being your grandma.

I’m here, my precious grandchild.
Come, climb upon my knee.
You are my little love.

I see your little hands
wipe away the tears.
I want to hold you tight
and chase away your fears.
I’m here, my precious grandchild.
Please, you can talk to me.
I love you much deeper
than the depths of the sea.
I know you are hurting.
I hear your silent cry.
I need to scream for you,
to help you breathe and sigh.
I’m here, my precious grandchild.
Come, walk outside with me.
Never stop looking up.
Keep dreaming to be free.
Promise to never lose hope.
Some things you will never know.
There will be ups and downs.
Stand, rise above the low.
I’m here, my precious grandchild.
Please, confront your pain.
After you brave the storm,
comes the cleansing rain.

2. My Grandson – Andrew Crowther

There’s someone knocking at my door
Then little feet across my floor
I wonder then
Who can it be?
It’s my grandson who has come to visit me

He talks to me (in double Dutch)
Of this and that
And such and such

My little grandson is only two
With hair of gold
And eyes of blue

3. I’m So Proud of You – Edward Langston

But they the way you would come and say sorry was so meek.
Your contagious laughter never failed to make me laugh,
Even on those sad nights your face would lighten up the dark.
Your innocent and unconditional love is so very rare,
You never failed to show me how much you care.
Today I feel so proud to see you grown up so big and tall,
You look like a prince my dear, when you walk down the hall.
My darling Grandson I love you!

4. The Legacy You Carry – Samuel Waverly

You carry pieces of those who came before you.

In the way you smile and the way you think.

Your steps echo old stories in gentle ways.

And remind me that family continues through you.

You hold a strength that feels timeless.

A light that keeps moving forward.

Your future is bright with possibility.

And I am grateful to witness its beginning.

5. My Hope for You – Walter Finch

I hope you follow the path that feels true to you.

I hope your days stay filled with kindness.

I hope your heart stays open to learning.

And I hope life gives you joy in many forms.

With choices shaped by courage and care.

I will cheer for you in every season.

And you will always have a place beside me.
