My grandson, Benjamin Brice Harrison was born on January 18th,2005

An awakening.
A holy reception
for one so immediate
and small.
Divine favor
invoked upon us.

Within his tiny life
he holds a heritage
that spans the world.
From Ukraine’s snow
to California’s warmth.
A son, inconceivably
valued.

A son gifted with a name
so honored.
From the heavens,
his great-grandfather
looks down upon him
and smiles.

Well my kids have spared me the stigma of Grandadhood so far (I can still pretent I'm 43), but I think you captured the emotions very well here, especially the feeling of continuity that is so reassuring to those of us moving towards "elder" status.
In fact you make the whole think seem a lot more appealing.
