A Poem From the 3rd Grade Class to their Grandparents
null

Grandma, Grandpa we love you!
You're the best above the rest!

Sweet you are I'm never blue!

In my heart you are the best!

 

You're the star that shines above.
The treasure that I want to find.

Keep me wrapped up in your love!

Forever you are mine!
