MY PAPA

My papa has a special talent

He always knows what to do

To make his grandchild happy

And to show he loves me to.

At family get-togethers

He’s the person to look for

He can entertain small children for

hours,

And they always keep asking for more.

You can tell when my Papa is teasing,

By the twinkle that's shines in his eyes

He’s an expert at settling problems,

For he’s hard working, grouchy and wise.

His grandchild always admires him

Even when I’m grown

I’ll always feel proud and happy,

To claim my Papa as my own.
