Open Arms
You're the one with open arms
When the darkness closes in.

Even when brothers and sisters get on each other’s nerves, deep down they love each other. Grandparents, mothers and fathers, and siblings hold a special place in a child’s heart.
You're the one with open arms

When the shadows come and the nightmares make it hard to sleep,
You're always there to chase them all away.

Great Grandpa is a wise old man who says he's ninety-four.
He tells me that he lost his leg fighting in some war.
When I was just a little tot with eyes and nose still runny,
He swears that he forgot my name, so now he calls me Sonny.
Balter's poem reminds me of my own grandfather whom I lost 49 years ago when he was 94. I remember his two habits very lucidly. He was a frugal eater. He used to weigh his food every time...

Bullseyes and targets, marbles and darts.
Little green bugs and bicycle parts.
Frogs in their pockets, worms in their shirt.
A boy is a boy for all he is worth.
'Twas the night before Christmas.

While watching the star blink

Today, I broke everything I touched
Brother's phone,
His toys,
My own toothbrush
