Welcome, Christian Jeremiah
A wee little one comes knocking at my door
another child I've not seen before.
dark ,curly ,soft and shiny hair
I stroke
as I look upon him and hold him close
a promise of a smile concealed behind innocent eyes.
Another tiny creature..a gift to me
A grandson this time...fifteenth in line
What joy it is for me to see
another precious moment in time.
Christian Jeremiah...that's his name
resembles his brothers....looks just the same
another kindred spirit joins the family line
extending our generation to indefinite time.
Fifteen grandchildren...I say
Never thought to see the day.
I am counting my blessings...and come what may
I've learned to cherish each day that I stay
on God's green Earth......till my final day.
