“Wrinkled skin but strong wit
Sitting by the fireplace
Carrying a patina of age old memories
Big bright beauteous eyes
Tears of joy falling as time flies
Head tilted on one side
Eyes closing every now and then
Distress turned into ecstasy
As she heard the doorbell ring
Blurred vision soon cleared up
A young man enters followed by a woman
It took a while for her to recognize
The man handed over something
Wrapped in a flannel blanket,
She felt it with her shakey hands
A small heart beat was felt by her trembling fingers
And a cry which she never thought would hear
“It’s a boy, grandma” said the man
A proud smile appeared and eyes narrowed
A final drop of joy caressed the floor
She held the baby close and went into a deep sleep.”
