I cried the tear because I knew, My heart had held a place for you. As each day your Mommy grew, I thought and thought and thought of you. I wondered if you were a girl or a boy. And what would be your favorite toy. I wondered what games we'd play, And how we would spend a day. Would we talk or read or bake? Oh, what special friends we'd make! Would we dance or skip or sing? What would be your favorite thing? Would we cuddle, kiss and hug? What would give my heart a tug? When you were born, I held you close, It's what I'd dreamed of most. I touched your tiny fingers and toes, I kissed your head, your cheek and nose. Hello little grandchild,it is me, My heart as happy as can be. I wish for you the sun and moon, I wish for you a happy tune. Know that Grandma's always near, I'd do anything, anything for you my dear. When I heard you were on the way, I smiled and wiped a tear away. I cried the tear because I knew, My heart would always belong to you. © by Teri Harrison GRANDPA'S HEART News of you has taught me more, I know now what a long life's for. I've found through you my magic heart, The kinder, gentler, patient part. While I waited those months for you, I reflected on the things we'd do. I would be your special friend, Have secrets to share and pennies to spend. I would tell you of the past, Leave you memories that would always last. I would grant your every wish, Like bigger scoops in your ice cream dish. I would be your biggest fan, The one cheering loudest from the stands. I'd play games of make believe, Pull magic tricks from up my sleeve. I'd take lots of photographs, And be generous with smiles and laughs. The first time you were in my arms, I felt the miracle of your charms. I placed your newborn hand in mine, And understood the gift of time. Tender feelings are hard to express, Grandchild,it is me you've blessed. Your life gives me another chance, A youthful heart and eyes that dance. News of you has taught me more, I know now what a long life is for. I give to you the magic part, Of your Grandpa's loving heart. © by Teri Harrison |
