The Grandma In You

The closet of toys, dress up and more; Sleepovers and tea parties; That's what Grandma's are for. A Grandmother's Love, Is of the sweetest to know. She'll open her heart; She'll give you her soul. She draws you close and brings you near; And whispers family stories into your ear. She'll tell you of hope; She'll tell you of joy; She'll tell you of songs, Grandpa sang as a boy. Now we add the word Great to her name; And a new generation of stories she'll gain. Not only stories, but encouragement too. All these gifts we've received, Because God gave us, The Grandma in You.

OMG, ha... I'm smiling because I'm a grandmother. I love my children, but their is nothing more than the love for my grandkids. How I love to spoil them, being a grandparent is one of the best joys I could ever ask for. I love the poem, my granddaughter loves story time. I would be honored if I can share these poems with her. Wuv... Linda

Thank you! This was how I announced to her that she was becoming a great grandmother for the first time.
