Something Old Something New
Something Old - This Gift Of Life- 1
This gift of life- a miracle is she-
with eyes of blue and dark brown, silky hair-
for I, a mom and grandma now would be
allowed to share new joys beyond compare.
Allowed to hold and love three of my own-
and later, their sweet babes would fill my heart.
So blessed am I, that five from mine have shown
how love can multiply from a small start.
Now, here you are- great-granddaughter of mine-
fourth generation; new limb on our tree.
So many years have passed- but love's design
still fills my grateful heart so wondrously.
Life's cycles come and go- oh, how I'm blessed
to hold my grandson's child close to my breast.

Something New - This Gift Of Life- 2
My gift of life- now two years old is she-
with eyes of blue, and golden, curly hair;
now I, her great-grandmother, do agree
to watch her grow- brought joys beyond compare.
Yes, you are here- great-granddaughter of mine-
fourth generation; new limb on our tree.
So many years have passed- but love's design
still fills my grateful heart so wondrously.
Great news! Big-sister role you'll soon assume-
come February- brand new baby girl!
Another blossom on our tree will bloom,
and special sister-love, for you, unfurl.
Life's cycles come and go- as I'm blest twice;
will hold two great-granddaughters- doubly nice!
