Take me back to my childhood days
Grandpa’s love
Take me back to my childhood days,
Where everything was free.
Running around without a care,
Grandpa's pocket always had treats to share.
**************************
True love was the embrace from my grandpa's heart,
Carrying me on his shoulders, never wanting to part.
Picking me up from school smiling so bright,
His love and presence made everything feel right.
**************************
Take me back to my childhood days where I didn't worry about what to wear,
Grandpa's words assured me he'd always be there.
He gave me the best adjectives, so kind and true,
And granted my wishes, no matter how many.
**************************
Take me back to those days, I slept without a care,
Being pampered and loved, beyond compare.
Seeing genuine happiness in my parents' eyes,
A time when everything felt normal, no need for disguise.
