~ Granny's 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
