I know not who you are yet
nor what your name will be.
But I love you little grandchild
unconditionally!
My arms they wait to hold you
my eyes, to see your face.
Will you be a rough house boy
or a dainty girl of grace?
I will always be there
if ever you should call.
I'll pick you up, dust you off
if you should ever fall.
And so my little grandchild
I await the day of your birth.
As with a cry you announce
you have arrived here on this earth!
