Thankful

I hold him while he sleeps

To me there's nothing more sweet

A baby boy so small 

I want to remember it all


I want to remember as I hold him close

Everything about him that I love the most

His smell, his face, his little hands

The way he fits right in my arms


I can hold him for hours while he sleeps

His little soul is at peace

He wakes and smiles as he sees my face

I smile and say good morning


I'm a lucky Grandma that is true

Thankful hes a part of me

Proud to add his name to our family tree


I'll be here for him as he grows 

I hope he knows I love him so

I gently kiss his little cheek

And back to sleep he goes
