Today I Became Your Grandmother

Today I became your grandmother, I hold you in my arms, you are my sweet bundle of charms, the old maple rocking chair rocks slowly to the beat of your precious heart, we are in unison and will not part. You coo to me as I hum a song, your blue eyes are shut but not for long, cradling the moment is a gift from above, feeling you wiggle is what I love, a tiny hand clasps my finger, I only want this moment to linger. Everything about you is so new, like spring flowers covered with dew, a beautiful cherub face looks at me, smiling I stare back in wonder to see a child so perfect in many ways, which I will enjoy for a lifetime of days. Today I became your grandmother and know we are bonded to one another, miles might separate us and time will go by, no matter what the reason we will try to be together so we can feel the love which is shared as a blessing from above.

Silent One, thank you for the placement of my poem, 'Today I Became Your Grandmother.' I am honored. This poem pulled on my heartstrings. My granddaughter is twenty-four years old. I remember her birth as if it was only yesterday. Sincerely, Sonia.
