Grandma's Heart

When I heard you were on the way,

I smiled and wiped a tear away.

I cried the tear because I knew,

My heart had held a place for you.

As each day your Mommy grew,

I thought and thought and thought of you.

I wondered if you were a girl or a boy.

And what would be your favorite toy.

I wondered what games we'd play,

And how we would spend a rainy day.

Would we talk or read or bake?

Oh, what special friends we'd make!

Would we dance or skip or sing?

What would be your favorite thing?

Would we cuddle, kiss and hug?

What would give my heart a tug?

When you were born, I held you close,

It's what I'd dreamed of most.

I touched your tiny fingers and toes,

I kissed your head, your cheek and nose.

Hello little grandchild, it is me,

My heart as happy as can be.

I wish for you the sun and moon,

I wish for you a happy tune.

Know that Grandma's always near,

I'd do anything, anything for you my dear.

When I heard you were on the way,

I smiled and wiped a tear away.

I cried the tear because I knew,

My heart would always belong to you.
