Granny's Babe

Waiting good tidings
Praying for ease
Ready to be teased
Grandma you've become

The bundle on bed
Asleep in warmth
Welcome son said
Babe pink and red

Father believed
Mother relieved
Gods wonder
Babe's here

The clutching fingers
Long eyelashes
Eyes do linger
Multiple sashes

About to cry
Mother's sigh
Don't ask me why
Tender a sight

Grannies around
Fussing about
Tidying around
Smiling about

Generation leaps
Passing the keep
Time to reap
Heaven's sweets

Babe awake
What lustrous eyes?
Straight in your eyes
Again I sigh

To hold you child
Tender and mild
To be by your side
A heavenly ride

May not a tear
Your ever be shed
Your enchanting smile
Call us from miles

Grow babe grow
To the whole world show
Your love and goodness
This world a test

Love you dear
Though not near
In my heart you near
My babe my dear
