Reflections From a Grandparent
Today I did something I had never done before...
I took a good look at the face of my grandchild and yearned for more.
Fearfully and wonderfully made was that child on my arm...,
But I am fearful because I know that his enemy wants to bring him harm.
So I bless this child and pray for him every day...
Lord, keep him safe and sound as he goes out to play.
But the thing that matters is he's as healthy as can be...
These little ones are gifts from God to grandparents like you and me.
So we cherish these moments when we walk hand in hand...
And together we'll build memories as he grows from a child into a man.
