What is a Grandfather?
A Friend, a confidant, and a mentor
That is what a Grandfather is.

Call him Grandfather, Grandpa, or even Pappy.
Just a thought of him and your heart is happy

A kindly face and snow-white hair
In his gentle eyes there is no disappointment
There is no despair

A whisper, a smile and secrets to share
A bond that is beyond compare

Fishing poles and bedtime stories.
Dressing as Santa, or even the Easter bunny
Hidden pockets full of money
