Goring Hunting with my grandpa.

What an adventure.

Before I begin this poem it is important to me, to take a few minutes, and to let the reader know, some events in my early childhood will be included in this poem. I just want to make it clear. I was never a victim. However, I was most definitely a survivor. And I only mean that in jest., But I was never a victim.

My grandparents both. Loved me. Come to think about it. I don’t remember, even 0ne time, they ever disciplined me. They were just two, loving and and caring grandparents.

Below is a poem Of my namesake, Grandpa. Who was both a preacher, and farmer, Located in rural, Northeast Louisiana.

Roll the poem, please:

Growing up with my grandpa.

I was the youngest grandchild.

My Grandfather had.

Going for a summer visit?

Were some of the best times I had.

Mom would put me on the Greyhound.

Behind the driver’s seat.

Mom would ask the driver, would you watch my son?

The driver always answered, it will be my treat.
