The Grandpa Princess

There was a Grandpa Princess

With ribbons in his beard.

Some might think that’s funny.

Some might think that’s weird.

He was sitting on the couch,

With nothing much to do.

We asked him for a playdate.

He smiled and then we knew

It would be a day of fun!

We’d play a grandpa game,

Pretend he was a princess

With a made-up princess name.

His head was bald and shiny,

So, we looked until we found

 Brightly colored stickers

For his bald head all around.

We put pink slippers on his ears,

His cane became his wand,

He summoned forth the teddy bears

And even far beyond.

We all stood and cheered him,

And kissed him on his cheek.

Then he spoke a word to us,

We stopped to hear him speak:

"Ever love with all your heart,

“Show kindness always, too.

“It’s the only way to be

“A princess pure and true!

“It’s not about the dresses,

“Or the crown upon your head.

“It’s all about a princess heart,

“The love you show instead.”

We named him Princess Grandpa!

No other name would do.

For all the love he showed us,

He's a princess through and through!
