Elijah & Grannie
Here I sit, little and bitty,
On the floor!
Eye level with Kitty!
Raise me up,
So it’s Grannie I see!
I know she’ll come
And smile with me!
Love you,
Grannie

Baby Elijah
To hold your lil body
To kiss your tiny face
To look upon your serene countenance
Brings joy, indescribable, to me.
Oh the joys of growing old,
When they bring me babies
To love and hold.
Love Grannie

Elijah is here!
We watched outside the nursery door
Cameras ready, breaths on hold.
Awaiting the arrival of love’s handiwork.
Ours,…. theirs,………
Now an individual love we can touch and hold
What joys we see in your face
And in the faces of all the others when they see you first
The smiles, the expressions of love at first sight
The memories that your existence brings
Of days and people gone by
Oh, he looks like you, he looks like me,
He’s got your nose,
Oh no! Are those my feet?
But how perfect you are in all your features
Perfect hands, feet, ears, and eyes
You bless my heart just to look at you
To see your daddy’s hands surround you
With love from your beginning is a joy to behold
Oh what a joy to pull you close
To kiss that lil face, hidden so long
Do you know how precious you are?
How loved?
Just watch us make sillies of ourselves
Just to grab one of your smiles.
Love you,
Grannie
