A Grandson

I’m having myself a grandson
I’m beginning to swell up with pride
He’s going to be something quite handsome
If he takes after Granddaddy’s side

He’ll be smart, maybe even an Einstein
And play golf like the great Tiger Woods
His genes will have come from a fine line
For success he will have all the goods

Sure he’ll start out all tiny and helpless
But he’ll grow on you, you can just bet
When he’s grown he’ll be loving and selfless
A man just as good as they get

I’m having myself a grandson
His mother’s just beaming with joy
I can hardly wait for the outcome
A first for this family – a boy!

A 'feelgood' poem, with a touch of humour. We always want (and even expect!) the best for our children and grandchildren. I have two granddaughters (no grandson yet) and their talents never cease to amaze me! In the end, they will be what they will be, but we do (naturally) want the best for them. A good poem!
