This Special Joy I smiled, when she was passed to me, with thanks for life, of which I'm part. Grandson's first child- new branch of tree; great-granddaughter- took hold my heart. I never dreamed this day would come; four generations make the sum. How precious, in my arms, asleep; this special joy, I will hold deep. When she was passed to me, with thanks for life of which I'm part, I smiled. New branch of tree- great-granddaughter; took hold my heart- grandson's first child. I never thought I'd share this day; to God, with heartfelt thanks, I pray. September 3, 2020 ~1st Place~ Contest: Charonnet Poetry Sponsor: Charles Messina Judged: 10/13/2020
