For Jacob With Love
In the land of make believe
where fairy tales are born,
candy grows in fields of stars,
all hearts are filled with warmth.
So new, your life upon this earth.
You are Grandma's pride and joy!
You, are now, too soon gone, my baby.
You are now, the little boy.
A little boy, to soon discover,
the world of make believe.
Just before you go exploring,
please, spend some time with me.
You are the image of your father
~But~
You have your mother's eyes.
They love you, son, believe me.
For you, they'd give their lives.
You are far to young to know just now
what a gift you've truely been.
As the one that was our baby,
we, welcome the little boy, now held within.
So, welcome Jacob, to make believe.
Have fun for your brief stay.
Know, that Grandma loves you,
as I write these words today.
What a sweet poem about your grandchild.
How special that moment must have been.
'In the land of make believe
where fairy tales are born,
candy grows in fields of stars,
all hearts are filled with warmth.'
this is a very poignant line to start off this gem, lesa...the sense of leaving something sweet behind, to venture forth into a brooding future of boyhood.
I can fully relate to this feeling.
Smilesz.
Cheers, to Jacob ~!~
Hi Sis, A beautiful poem from a loving grandmother... And you are so right... They grow up so fast! It seems like only yesterday that my own children were just toddlers... And now, within the space of two years, I will soon find myself the grandfather of three blessed angels... I hope that I will be around to see them grow up too! I know how happy your little Jacob makes you. Give him a hug for me!
Peace and love ~~~ Dougie ~~
