Of my Grandpa

Dark head bent toward baby brow

Raining love on fertile ground

Listen and you’ll catch the sound

“Yes, Jesus loves me”


Head still dark, but age now shows

Gray hair fitting grandpa role

Still faint melody enthralls

“Yes, Jesus loves me”


Wrinkles, gray hairs show his age

Joys and sorrows mark life’s page

Great grand babes cradle, assuage

“Yes, Jesus love me”


At the end breath’s rattle stayed

Frailty to death gives way 

From his Savior’s arms now says

“Yes, Jesus loves me”
