A Grandma for Christmas/Poem/Unknown Author



A Grandma for Christmas
A thought suddenly occurred to me
 As I sat here this day
 I realized I have no grandmas left
 And I'm only thirty years of age.
The holidays are closing in
 Soon it will be Christmas Day
 So I thought about running an ad
 And this is what it will say:


   Wanted: A Grandma for Christmas
 One to love a thirty year old child-at-heart
 One who is warm and funny
 Soft, good smelling and smart.

 One to bake gingerbread men
 Fruitcakes and pumpkin pie
 One who will tell stories of yesteryear
 With that certain twinkle in her eye.

 A grandma who says "Come here child
 Let's sit by the fire and sing
 To praise our Lord in Heaven above
 While we put popcorn and berries on a string."

 A grandma with rosy pink cheeks
 And silvery-blue hair
 One who will love great-grandbabies
 For I have plenty to spare.

 One who makes snow angels
 And turkey stuffed with rice
 Hot cinnamon tea and yarn dolls
 Yes, that would be nice.

 Wanted: A Grandma for Christmas
 Please reply right away
 There's so much to do and plans to make
 For soon it will be Christmas Day!
