This Gift of Life
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.
