I’ve got eight grandkids
That means 16 eyelids
You can never outbid
Me for even one of my grandkids
TJ is a handsome twenty
In skills he has many
He’s tall and lanky
T’s a good boy you see
TJ has good skills aplenty
Meet Josh, oh my gosh
I think someday he’ll be the boss
He marches to his own drum sound
He’s still figuring out where he’s bound
But land on his feet, that’s my Josh
Maria is a beauty, for sure
Someday she’ll probably find a cure
She is easy and demure
But always so sure
She continues to grow and mature
Jacob is thirteen you see
He’s good with the trumpet, we agree
He’s handsome, he’s smart
He has a golden heart
He’s easy and his heart is carefree
Ava is eleven and smart
She can write, play piano and make art
She is mature and alert
When needed, she can assert
Ava has a very good heart
Grey is all boy for sure
On any sports field he can endure
He is agile and swift
Coordination is his gift
‘Tis fun to watch him mature
Adia is cute and alert
At times her tender heart can be hurt
She knows her own mind
She never falls behind
Someday she’ll be an expert
Eliot is energy plus two
He is likeable and honest and true
He laughs and runs
He loves to have fun
His smile will help him make do
