Mommy, Grampa bought me ice cream at the park
It was messy, it got all over the place
Grampa saw my face covered in sprinkles and he laughed
And I could see the little lines on his face

Mommy, when I woke up this morning
I was on the couch covered with a blanket and a sheet
And I saw Grampa sitting in his favorite chair
With the coffee table holding up his feet

Mommy, Grampa was still snoring loudly
When I found out something new
I saw the purple shadows under his eyes
And realized he works hard, just like you

Mommy, there was something else I noticed
Grampa has laugh lines around his eyes
You have them too, only yours are much softer
That's how I know when smiles aren't a disguise
