Arthritis may have our backs and knees but when the little one falls down we have the need for speed.

There were seven swinging Grandpas on the play ground yesterday.
Each just saying hello with a nod, no chance to look away.
Bones filled with arthritis but still bend down to to adjust some skates.
Seven watch full Grandpas, while the young ones lived and played.
There goes one a crying, shes not really hurt when she fell,
it takes a few louder whimpers for hearing aids to tell.
All of these play ground guardians will soon all have to leave,
when it it comes time for nap time , they’ll all fall fast asleep.
So seven swinging Grandpas all pack up the little ones,
tomorrow is another day, good bye everyone.
I know you are enjoying the “grandfathering” task with little Sophie despite the body aches.
