Until You’re A Grandmother

You’ve raised your children
now they’re gone
You’re there in the house
quiet and alone
When your first instinct is
you’ll need a little noise
Here comes grandchildren
two girls and two boys !
It’s Heaven to you when
you make them smile
You kiss them and say,
"see you in awhile"
The feelings you get
makes you feel brand new
You’ll never know
until you’re a grandmother too.
With four grandchildren and
one on the way
God took my fifth one
to live with Him and stay
I miss her, I love her
I feel so blue
You wouldn’t know
until you’re a grandmother too.

Sylvia,
Your poem was beautiful. I have three grandchildren and understand what your
saying as for the joy they bring is like
nothing ever experienced before. I can't
imagine your pain of loosing a grandchild.
I offer you my prayers and God's speed for
your healing.

give one thing more: a grateful heart.
