Grandparents Poem






WHY Trevor why

Why did you go so soon?
Our morning talk meant so much
The togetherness was just great
I had plans for you to row me on the lake
But you stopped after 133 days
And left me drifting and in a daze

You did not meet all the people you should have met
All those folk in South Africa were waiting for you
To charm them as you did with all you did meet
Especially granddad and grandma
Who now carry your name back home?

You met and inspired so many people
That, we guess Jesus said it was enough
You influenced so many so quickly and so easily
By your pleasing relaxed easy going and calming way

Your message of love and happiness
Will be spread to all, especially the family
You sadly did not meet
Jesus must have been impressed

We dreamed of you as a great scholar
The sport you did not play
We guess you would have done just fine
A boy for all time

For us you showed happiness and attentiveness
And followed through with a quiet cry
Which had us all running?
To be at the side of our star
And wondering what you could be asking for

You commanded attention without making a noise
The power you had and used in your charming way
Brought happiness and joy way beyond expectations
Your alert and attentive behavior
Made life so easy with innocent love

You loved your bath time and especially when mommy let
The water run over your head and down your face
While dad supported closely

At bed time you were great and did not once put up a fight
As you knew both dad & mom needed the rest
So they could be at their best when next you stirred

But it was at your bedtime that you breathed your last
And left us wondering
And we will love you till beyond our last

Why Trevor why,

Grandad & Grandma Hamilton

Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?

Can someone help me find it?

Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.

Thanks
