You do your best as a grandparent to help hearts mend; <br />yet, Children think they know it all in the end <br />Grandparents teach child to respect society as a whole, <br />Government teaches our young war deep within their soul. <br />A grandchild has no chances in hell, <br />to raise their children with love and discipline known well <br />In this world today discipline has been taken away, <br />leaving grandparent no rights to speak or say, <br />What happened to the world of yester years? <br />A child got scolded and learned from their tears <br /> We plea for you to give back our grandparents rights; <br />for, generations would learn to respect, not wakening to bloodshed or foreign frights. <br /> Mr president, give us back our damn rights!<br /><br />Kelley Collins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grandparents-rights/
