Notes About The Poem
Watercolor by Artist Sue Bennett
The Rocking Chair
The Rocking Chair
Some years ago, I bought a rocking chair-
for first grandchild- now twenty-nine years old.
So many hours I rocked him, not aware
someday, in this same chair, that I might hold
his baby daughter, whose birth soon will be!
I'll rock her in my arms, as long ago,
I held her dad- my grandson, with deep love.
Such joy- with his sweet babe- a new plateau
of life will grace our lives. Dear God above
has blessed me- soon, a great-grandchild I'll see.
