Pink Shoes

My granddaddy lets me do things
The boys never get to do,
Like running through the garden
Wearing nothing but pink shoes.

My granddaddy pats my back
When I wake up in the night.
He holds me close and hugs me
When something gives me a fright.

My granddaddy holds me high
So I can touch the clock moon,
And when he feeds me supper,
I get to hold the blue spoon.

My granddaddy lets me jump
On the bed after it’s made.
He opens the car window,
Letting the wind blow my face.

My granddaddy loves me lots!
He loves the little boys, too!
Why he lets me do these things?
It has to be the pink shoes.
