“God’s gifts...Grandbabies”

When raising your children

You never think about the day

The empty nest syndrome will come

That time is too far in the future

To contemplate or even grasp

The concept of how you will feel…

Time passes much too quickly

You blink and your babies are now grown

Hard to fathom where all the time has gone

The empty nest syndrome

Takes your breath away

Your cellphone or the doorbell seldom ring

The loneliness at times is stifling

Then out of the blue comes

An invitation to dinner…

You know all too well the secret that will be told

Even before you are handed the picture

Saying, “soon to be grandma”

Through tears of joy you are filled with hope

A whole new life begins

As you hold your grandchild for the first time

The circle of life continues…

You finally realize in the cycle of life

That the best gifts are given to Mothers

When God gives us our grandbabies~
