My Grandson

An endearing little imp
   who shall turn my emotions limp
      when I envision his little face
    and the dreams he will chase

       May God grant him love
     and strength for adversity 
       the tranquil peace of a dove
    bestow him with skilled diversity
     
         A spirit filled with flow
      granted minimum of woe
       In all the places he will go
     The love of God he will know

       A heart that is mild 
       with just enough wild
       to indulge natures beauty
      That is my prayer for you
            child of my child

      Bless his mama and papa
         Jason and Sarah
      with wisdom, friendship
        and all that is good
       as they embark on the
        journey of parenthood
