Happy Grandparents Day!


My grandpa cares,
My grandma dares;
One teaches me independence,
Another educates me female excellence;
I live drugs free,
In my notebook they'll always stay.

    I like this poem very much. I'd like to think I keep my grandmothers in my notebook as well, despite the fact that they have both passed on. They still remain. Blessings! xoXox

    I like it that you have grandpa caring and grandma daring, perhaps a little unexpected from each gender.

    Their importance to you, and the importance of what they taught you comes through simply and clearly in your poem.
