A Garden Lullaby

What could be more perfect, more special than to be a Gramma,
rejoicing in one of life’s grandest and treasured moments.

This tiny blessing yet to be born, will change a couple into a sweet family,
a pink-cheeked gift from God will magically capture their loving hearts.

Delicate as a fine china cup, more precious than pure gold or silver,
a little angel’s feet will dance into our lives, leaving footprints on our souls.

For this birth, this divine process designed by the source of all life,
first a seed, then a bud, then a glorious beauty…..grows inside ….

I close my eyes and hear the soft peaceful notes of a song soon to be sung,
of a baby’s sweet voice filling the air with soothing coos and sighs.

Melt my heart dear little one, Gramma’s loving arms are open wide,
to gently rock and hug and cuddle, as I sing to thee a sweet garden lullaby.

A flower, a newborn, a testimony of beauty and joy in this wonderful world,
skin softer than the petals of a buttercup, fragrance sweet as blossom’s nectar.

Together we’ll listen to the gentle breezes and the trickling waterfalls,
do silly things in the white sparkling sunshine, or read enchanting fairy-tales.

We’ll picnic on the soft green grass with fresh baked goodies and food,
and gather all the twinkling stars in heaven, a gift for Mommy and Daddy.

It won’t be long, time passes so quickly, can’t wait to see your tiny face,
just a wee bundle of love, a brand new life beginning, a wonder and a miracle.

Thank you my son, my daughter-in-law, for this great honor of Gramma,
no greater blessing for me to see, this creation, embraced within a powerful bond of love.
