TODAY I'LL SHARE WITH YOU

a poem that I believe was written for Brandy, my grandaughter:

My Son

I can't express the fullness

The blessing the Lord has passed to me,

A baby boy for me to care for

And your mother I'll always be.

I nursed you in your infancy

And watched you grow so fast.

I thank the Good Lord daily

For giving me this task.

You filled my heart with every smile

As I played every day with you.

And tried to sing along with you

To keep time with your baby coo.

I was amazed when you began to crawl,

Just how fast you got around.

And remember the many times you got away

As you didn't make a sound.

I listened clearly to your chatter

For the first word you would say.

And then I heard it clearly, "Mommy",

I shall never forget that day.

As you tried your best to walk

There were many bumps and falls.

But it didn't seem any time at all

For you to romp the rooms and halls.

You have grown into my little man

Conquering the simple tasks you know.

And there will be many more

As you continue to grow.

And to the Lord my thanks I give

For the joys you have brought to me.

And I ask for quidance continually

That a fine young man you'll be.

Written for a new mother
