A Grandma's Poem

It seems that grandmas always need A little one to hold; To kiss and love, with all their hearts, To shelter from the cold.

It gives me so much pleasure When you sit upon my knee, To know as I grow older You will always keep me company.

I'll tell you lots of stories; I'll sing you lullabies, and you will know I love you more With each beautiful day that goes by.

I used to hold your mommy And hug and kiss her, too. I love her very much, you know

The same way she loves you.

I used to wish that she could stay My baby all her life, But God intended for my little girl To grow up to be a mommy and a wife.

And that's why He makes grandchildren - To fill the empty gap. It would be such a lonely world without you. Come - sit on Grandma's lap.
