A DPM Poem

Growing Up Too Fast

by Debi Pick Marquette

For my grandkids I pray

 Our time together sharing

I love them, come what may



One of the things we play

The grandma monster's scaring 

For my grandkids I pray



And I will shop and pay

For new clothes they are wearing

I love them, come what may



For overnight or day

Our precious time is sparing

For my grandkids I pray



But children they won't stay

That heartache needs repairing

I love them, come what may



I will always portray

A grandma that keeps caring

For my grandkids I pray
