There was a time when Grandpa Gene

Would take me in beside his knee

To teach me lessons life had taught to him

These times shared still cause a grin

Now Grandma V had a different approach

She was more like a sideline coach

Still teaching from deep within

These times we shared still cause a grin

This was grandma and grandpa's way

The formula works still today

So take your children by your side

Teach them lessons learned with pride

Grandpa Gene loved Grandma V

Over 50 years you see

As they loved they proved the whole

Strength comes from two dear souls

Descendants can look with strength

Their heritage lives on in length

Hearts of family left behind

Knowing lessons to pass in kind

This was grandma and grandpa's way

The formula works still today

So take your children by your side

Teach them lessons learned with pride
