GREAT GRANDFATHER
WHEN I BECAME A DAD:
I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS QUITE THE LAD:
WHEN I BECAME A GRANDPA:
COMPLETELY I WAS IN AWE:
BECOMING A GREAT GRAND FATHER MUST FEEL SO GRAND:
LIKE A POWERFUL GREAT OUTSTRECHED OAK TREE YOU STAND:
LIKE OLD GRANDFATHER TIME:
BECOMING A GREAT GRAND DAD--EVERYTHING COMES TO RHYME:
WHAT MORE CAN A MAN ACCOMPLISH THAN THIS:
TO BECOME A GREAT GRAND FATHER IS MY GREATEST WISH:
SOMETIMES WE LOOK AT OUR OWN LIFE AND WE MAY WONDER IN OUR LIFE WHAT HAVE WE ACCOMPLISHED---
WHAT IS OUR REASON FOR LIVING -WITH OUR OWN LIFE WHAT HAVE WE DONE:
THEN BECOMING A GREAT GRAND FATHER YOU KNOW A WORLD CLASS PRICELESS GOLD MEDAL YOU HAVE WON:
WHEN GREAT GRAND FATHER BECOMES YOUR NAME:
FINALLY YOU REALIZE THIS IS YOUR LIFE YOU HAVE YOUR FAME:
MANY MEN IN THE WORLD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MANY A GREAT THING:
BUT TO BECOME A GREAT GRAND FATHER IS LIKE BEING CROWNED KING:
WHEN YOU GO TO A FOREST AND YOU COME UPON AN OLD WEATHERED MIGHTY OAK:
YOU KNOW IT IS NO JOKE:
THE LONGER THAT YOU LOOK AND STAND AT THE OLD TREE:
YOU ARE IN WONDERMENT JUST HOW OLD CAN IT BE:
THE GREAT OUTSTRETCHED BRANCHES SO THICK STURDY BROAD AND WIDE:
STANDING GRAND AND SO TALL WITH PRIDE:
YOU KNOW THE FOUNDATION OF THE GREAT OAK IS SECURE AND ENORMOUSLY STRONG:
THE GREAT OAK WILL STAND MORE THAN 200 YEARS LONG:
AS THE GREAT OAK TREE HAS WEATHERED MANY A HARSH AND VIOLENT STORM:
UNDER HIS GRAND BRANCHES BELOW HE PROTECTS THE PRECIOUS SEEDLINGS OF OAK TREE NEW BORN:
A GREAT GRAND FATHER KNOWS HIS BLESSINGS COMPLETE:
WITH A GREAT GRAND CHILD YOU FEEL FOREVER SPECIAL AND ELITE:
A GREAT GRAND FATHER KNOWS THE REASON THEY HAVE BEEN ON THIS EARTH:
A GREAT GRAND CHILD IS YOUR GREATEST WORTH:
IF IN YOUR LIFE BEFORE--YOUR CONFIDENCE HAS EVER FAILED:
NOW BECOMING A GREAT GRAND FATHER IN EVERYTHING YOU WILL PREVAIL:
