| Grandpa's Love This little child has a place in my heart that only a child can see where patience, love, and tenderness will never cease to be. A place where understanding lives and kindness guides the way a helping hand with lots of smiles and laughter every day. This little child will know the love of a Grandpa filled with pride a gentle touch, a whiskery kiss; with tickles down the side. A game to play, a song to sing, some time to fly a kite a lesson in the golden rule and learning wrong from right. A tear to share, some time to dream, a hug that's really tight a rainy day, a baseball game, perhaps a childish fright. This little child will come to know that Grandpa's love is real and given with a guarantee that no one else can steal. My days are short; I cannot stay, there's other work to do for God will call me home with Him and I must say adieu. This little child will grow to know what God has given me a special love; a Grandpa's love that only a child can see. Copyright © Joseph Meckes |

| Winter Competition - December 1, 2008 Peter Joseph Adams - Georgia USA - Won $48.00 |
| They Soon Forgot The Cosmonaut He is an island insignificant Amidst a sea magnificent To be passed over by the eye While the world storms and quakes All alone he floats and waits The man above the sky One cannot follow A heart long hollow For nothing's there to lead His simple crime Was wishing time Would move another speed But the world passed right by Time stays content to fly It will never postpone And our Cosmonaut The world forgot So he floats away, alone.
