My life matures with treasured blessings to enjoy
Being with grandchildren brings rich love and joy
God blesses us with these matchless wonders
Hearing their playfulness louder than thunder
The Lord has blessed my role as a grandfather
Bringing love opportunities without any bother
Morning arrives with my coffee cup filled
Thinking of grandchildren spawns a thrill
Some live close, others reside farther away
Praying for each one helps to start my day
Their parents feeling blessed with each child
Allowing me to call each one my grandchild
These children march through remarkable lives
Offering vivid moments which continue to thrive
Photographs authenticate each child’s life story
Filling my appetite with incredible love and glory
God has glorified me with these little tikes
Reminding of humble times, forever to like
This was beautiful. It made me think about my nieces and nephews the same way when they were little babies. Just bundles of joy.

More than a year ago we were in the midst of a series of traumatic events in our life. In the middle of our suffering, we were blessed with our first grandchild. I am humbled by the joy God has brought into our lives through this little one. There is such blessing in being a grandparent. Thanks for the poem.
