Our Rewards Are Very Special

I Babysit two of my grandchildren five days a week and I find each night as I lay in bed at night, I realize the rewards I get each day just for loving them. They have that very special smile for me and when they hug me, my heart skips a beat for I know when they say "I love you Nanny", it is coming from their innocent hearts. How lucky can we be?

Our Rewards Are Very Special 
              At The End Of the Day
Dedicated to Shelby & Freddy

A very simple little smile,
A energised hug or maybe two,
 A very special eye contact,
You know is meant for you.
Two little hands to hold,
As you go out with them to play,
Our rewards are very special
at the end of the day.

That special piece of paper,
To some mean nothing at all,
They took the time to write the words,
I love you Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall.
You hold that paper dearly,
With their scribbles so divine,
As you share it with so many,
Those words from them are mine all mine.

Each day they’re getting older,
It’s sad to know one day they’ll be gone,
They won’t cuddle or make eye contact,
They’ll think that is all wrong.
But we will always remember,
They each had their own special way.
We’ll cherish our special rewards,
We had at the end of every day.

Blessed are you, Rose, for having your grandbabies to love and spoil (and then giving them back to their parents - sweet revenge, indeed LOL). Well done, and congratulations! Give them a Texas sized (((HUG))) from me. :D

Tugged at my heart in a big way. I know that feeling--I get it from my daughter--I can only imagine how it is as a grandmother, your daughter's daughter! What a blessing indeed and they sure are adorable, look at their cute faces!!!

My 24 year old grandson still hugs me when he sees me and so does his brother 20 years old and another brother 17 years old. It is all in the way they are brought up. A loving Mother who says Give Hugs, they listen to. Steve is going to be a lawyer, the 24 yr old, and not too proud to hug his grandma. Lives in Washingon, DC and is getting married Oct 6 09. I'll be there getting those hugs again.

You are so right and I know your grandchildren as well as my own are the greatest rewards life has to give us. My fondest wish is to be around long enough to see my grandchildren grow up and know they are well. I know you give your all to each moment you have with yours as well and the love you have for them is seen in the smiles you share with me when you talk about them.

big hugs from down home
