I have a cradle of hope A basket of dreams In which I am placing All my grandmother dreams As each child of ours Was finished playing with toys I se aside a special one For future bundles of joys Now that our children are all grown Married and happy I'm just waiting to hear Good news from afar I really don't care If it is to be girl or boy Just so it's healthy Either way it will bring lots of joy So until I pick up the phone And hear some good news I'm hoping and praying Someday a grandparent I'll be Meantime.. I'm filling a cradle With my hopes and my dreams Remembering old lullabies Humming their tunes Gently rocking the cradle |

Beautiful. I have no other words but those..I hope it is enough. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

This is beautiful, Septsong! I wish I had thought to save a few of my girls' things like that for their children. That's a very sweet idea! I hope you hear that good news real soon! I have two grandchildren now and they are such a blessing in my life! Denise |

Beautiful. Any one to have you in their lives must indeed be lucky. I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |
