PawPaw's Prayer

CATEGORY

life

Views: 15

to be the best PawPaw I can be
and shower you with love and kisses
until the right one comes along
and transforms from miss to missus

to be your umbrella in the rain
and provide to you an arch of safety
to give you the freedom of expression
and always satisfy your curiosity

to be the bridge you never see
if mommy is not able at the time
to be the period in your sentence
and be the last word in your rhyme

to be the sentinel with a shotgun
standing ready at the front door
when those approach with ill interest
want to exceed what you are ready for

to be the loudest voice heard
watching from the stands while you cheer
to dry your tears when you are afraid
and know that PawPaw will be near

to know that mommy will be the light
shining upon the path you tread
clothing and shelter and comfort 
always providing the daily bread

do not be concerned about his absence  
he is not worth any effort at all
when you are in need someone to listen
it is to me you can always call
 
if you seek a trusted male point of view 
let me be the first you think of
the first granddaughter gifted to me
you will forever be PawPaw's love

I will watch with awe and amazement
as you soar with wings into the air
let my love always guide your flight
let this be your PawPaw's prayer
