By Billy Campbell
The coming of a grandchild brings life to a dream
A long awaited beginning to a grandparent’s scheme
Cute as a button. We spoil them rotten
Our own trials of parenting are never forgotten
Never without candy for the next sugar binge
All part of the plan In a grandparents revenge
Our guilty pleasure is watching our kids
As they learn to appreciate all that we did
Quick to remind them we’ve seen it before
Hoping our grandchild will even the score
In the parenting world karma becomes fact
With the blessing of a grandchild
Our kids are paid back
Billy Campbell writes poetry and sell them as framed sentiments. I have written them in all varieties and have published my first children’s book. My mother used to tell me one day I would get my payback so she was the inspiration for this poem.
