She I’ve never seen a face more fair Nor touched such lovely locks of hair In pretty pink her rosebud cheeks Are velvet soft at petal’s peak Two piercing eyes like jewels of light Outshining all the stars at night Two littlehands of dimpled skin A heart of innocence within In frilly skirt and puffy sleeves In worn out jeans in autumn leaves No matter when or where the place She’ll always be a child of grace She’ll come to me with tears someday And listen close to all I say She’ll sit upon my lap and rest Her little head upon my breast And as she grows, I’ll be right there To listen to her every care And tell her that her beauty lies Hidden deep within her eyes And knowing this, she’ll say and do The things her heart allows her to I’ll promise her that all along Her grandma’s love is true and strong Envisioning her face so fine I see this grandaughter of mine The finest jewel upon the earth As I await her day of birth Elizabeth Santos |

Liz, this verse expresses the perfect picture of what a grandparent is. Evocative and vivid, well done Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

How lovely to be able to have such a beautiful picture of your granddaughter while still waiting for her entrance. I can tell you are going to be a wonderful grandmother to this child because your love shines through your beautiful poetry. |
