My Seven Blessings

God bless little angels brought unto me, Watch over them beneath heavens grace. My first of seven blessings most precious gift, Treasures hearts keepsakes. Number one the oldest, my rocker baby, Dancing away with musics sweet lullaby. The lyrical light of brilliance’s, a shinning note, That strums across grandma's heart strings. The second child is a testament to patience, No instructions came with this wonder Or warning labels tattooed upon her backside. But she has the eyes of an angel and lord knows, She try's my beliefs but I'll never give up the fight . I love my problem child just the same. The third times the charms, she is that for sure, With brown eyes and a kewpie doll with dark curls. Our grand daughter bubbles, whom can light up the Darkest moment with just a simple smile. The fourth grace is he, full of strength and daring, A future NFL first draft pick this is my little RJ, Patton had his tank and believe you me, Me maw Has hers. Diamonds are the hardest stones known to man, But this boy sparkles with a shine more valuable, Then gold. Fifth in line is wisdom and charm, explorations Future astronaut. With curiosities wondering eye, but ahead of The pack in any game of life. My youngest grand son Issac his name means, Laughter and joy and in this it is so true. Tiny but mighty is my little Bella, With dark raven hair, she has her fathers eyes, And mommy's brave spirit. She'll take on the world someday. And win by all hands clapping her on, Me Maw's future Mrs. America. Seven was born on grandma's birthday, A special gift given unto me is my darling, Trinity. Who knows what the future will hold for thee, But seven has always been my lucky number, So sky's the limit with this the youngest blessing, In my life. 1. The blessings gift is music. 2. The second blessings gift mischief and curiosity. 3. The third blessings gift beauty's sweet smile 4. The four blessings gift strength and endurance. 5. The fifth blessings gift wisdom and charm. 6. The sixth blessings gift is a brave spirit. 7. The seventh blessings gift is lucks true fortune. And when you add up all my many blessing, What does a grandmother receive a full heart, Hugs and kisses at bedtime. Good night my little angels and sleep tight. I'll re-sight my many blessings in my prayers, Tonight as I lay myself asleep and dream of thee. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
