Watching My Grandchildren Grow

By Judy VanDeVelde

Out of nowhere into our arms

This tiny bundle of joy

A wisp of heaven in human form

A precious baby boy

Beautiful tiny baby hands

Clenching at our heart

Little fingers and sturdy feet

Ready for life at the start

Bluish eyes and twinkling smile

Hair that’s touched by the sun

We watch him as he learns and grows

With love for everyone

A tiny sister comes along

As sweet as a baby can be

She loves to share a rhyme or two

While sitting on your knee

She dances as she moves about

And jumps and claps her hands

There’s kindness in that little face

As before you she stands

You give her a kiss

She blinks her eyes

Will you reach my teddy bear, please?

Let’s read the book about the Five Little Monkeys

My life has changed so very much

Watching my grandchildren grow

They sing and play and run around

Gifts from above, I know!
