While I realize that all grandparents are not senior citizens, and not all seniors are grandparents, I want to contribute this poem on Grandparents Day. I wrote it several years ago, and it has been published.

THE SENIOR CITIZEN


When but a child I often thought

Of the sad plight of the old

And wondered then how it must feel

To have life's story told


Now as a man I often think

Often wish that I could buy

The happy smile on an old man's face

Or the twinkle in his eye


When young we think we know so much

Our brain's with knowledge stowed

But the old one simply smiles and says

Walk further down the road


So do not scorn the old my friend

The white crown cast aside

But pray such wisdom as it hides

In you someday abide.

Grandparents Day Poems
A grandmother has a special talent-
She always knows just what to do
To make her grandchildren happy
And to show she loves them, too.

At the family get-togethers,
She's the first person to look for-
She can entertain small children for hours,
And they always keep asking for more.

You can tell when a grandmother's teasing
By the twinkle that shines in her eyes-
She's an expert at settling problems,
For she's loving, patient and wise.

Her grandchildren always admire her,
Even when they are grown-
They always feel proud and happy
To claim Grandmother as their own!

Mary Dawson Hughes

I became a 'Gramma' at 36... I have 6 amazing grandchildren, and I feel, with their presence, that I grow younger all the time! They don't allow me to sulk or get cranky but keep me involved in life... I should honor them on Grandparents Day!
Thank you for sharing your lovely poem.
