A New Grandson

I marvel at this little boy His very presence brings me joy So dainty, fragile, and serene At last, a grandson I have seen I contemplate his tight closed eyes His gentle soft and soughing sighs His cutest little button nose As he slumbers sweetly in repose I feel the down beneath my touch And though there isn’t very much His soft and silky baby hair Is like his mother’s, light and fair I wonder what the future holds In years to come, as life unfolds For this, my daughter’s new born son A brand new life that’s just begun I speculate what he might be And hope that I might live to see When he becomes a full grown man He’ll strive to be the best he can

by the way, I wanted to tell you on this poem, you posted it on my son's birthday and his wife is pregnant maybe even with twins!! If so, I will have even more grandkids of my own.
