My grandfather when I see him,
Is a wizard of jokes,
He is the nascent of happiness,
For me

My grandfather is a full plate of blackberries
Just waiting to be eaten,
He has a stutter of yellow joy,
And a stampede of laughter.

My grandfather has always been there for me,
A rhapsody of emotions,
He has always shined in front of me,
Just like a group of crystallines,

My grandfather has always been my idol,
Someone to always look up to,
And I think,
That everyone,
Could all do the same.
