Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children… Psalms 128:6a KJV
Children’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father. Proverbs 17:6 KJV
God blesses us abundantly with the birth of each of our children and grandchildren.
Each one is a unique gift from His Hand to our Hearts.
Thank You, Lord for these gifts of Your Love.
I share with you here one very special moment of my grandmotherhood.
Patricia Ann
You danced to me,
illumined by autumn’s golden mist,
over shimmering leaves on
four-year-old, elfin limbs
into my arms.
Fair hair wisped about your shoulders
in cobweb strands
of light.
“Dance with me, Grandma,”
you laughed,
and together we danced.
Your laughter shattered my sorrow
before they both flew
into the wind.
I fancy the notes
of that laughter
echo
somewhere still.
Someday, you will have grown older,
and I old.
You may not remember this day,
I will never forget.
Child of my child,
there will be a place
in my soul,
where you are ever
fairylike and four
and dancing to me,
and I am ever
gathering you
into my arms–
and into my heart.
