~ Grannies Treasures ~
Two precious girls came
from out of the blue,
to mark our lives
the whole way through.
From there came two special boys
so handsome and grand
I knew not what to do.
Grandma was a scarey word.
Not even forty,
I thought I was so young.
I was their Granny,
and I was having fun.
No little tea parties
like the daughters had.
These two little brothers
were true little lads.
Snakes, and snails,
and puppy dog tails.
Mischief and curosity,
the kind that makes you glad.
Spoil then and love
them beyond belief.
Brag and boast to all you see.
Watch them grow up
year after year.
In the world of love,
the awesomest glee.
When first you hold
their bodies close,
they smell sweeter
than babies breath.
Time goes by and
they are half grown.
You realize the beautiful
memories that they have left.
Their Mommy says,
don't you see what he is doing?
You never let us do that.
I say yes,
but he is my Grandson.
The unexplained differences
we cannot arrive at.
Now I stand almost
holding my breath.
My heart captured
by two little boys.
My life blows on down the road,
as I wonder from which direction
will come our next little joy!
