Here are two poems by my grandson Aaron Stallman. A proud offering by a proud grandfather!!
Those who live in times of was,
and those who live in trophies or honors.
Those who see not life,
they are blind with vision dark as night,
for they see just their past.
Listen advice as old as time itself,
see the day,
live the future,
forget the Past.
Keep marching forward,
your battle is not over.
By Aaron Stallman
Everytime I hear sir names,
I see their faces.
Wonder who they were,
why they were,
and when.
Everytime I hear sir names,
the faces of past I see.
This gift I bear,
I know not how,
why, I cannot say.
One thing I know,
this gift I'll bear always.
By Aaron Stallman
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

You should be proud!! That's wonderful. How old is he? Did you have your 1st child when you were 10??? You can't be that old. :)
must be in the genes
well done aaron
Wonderful! Put this guy on Ed Sullivan!
wow, these are deep.
i, too, wonder how old aaron is... but well done in any case!
didn't know poetry was a genetic trait!
I see much talent in this young poet. Thanks for sharing his work.
Justly proud, I'd say. My granddaughter is only six months old, but she shows promise.
And, to vary Andrew's theme, I can't be that young!
So Pat I hope that you are encouraging thse young ones to enter our profession. They are talented kids. I love the fact that they are so into writing. Some think it a lost art form. Oh but it is alive and kicking rather strongly.
Thank you Pat for sharing this with us.

Wow! So fabulous Aaron! Thank you!
My oldest just won an essay contest. It really makes me happy to see the younger children expressing themselves!
Great poems from your grandson!
Thanks for sharing them Pat!
He is very talented!

:) You've the comment turned off on the 19th - but we won't go there anyway - especially not, since I just had a birthday. Thankfully, neither of my children thought of turning me into a grandma but that is merely by choice and not because they couldn't have years ago :)
Aaron seems to have an insight on life. Keep it up! Well done!
For a thirteen year old, Aaron's poetry is very deep. Very layered. However, we do not expect anything less from your grandson!
Hi Pat!
Gosh these are insightful for someone Aaron's age. Excellent!
Good to be back at your blog again Pat.
