Little Jewels

Grandmother's Prayer

Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,

Eternal beauty, or youth, or such.

Just give me a little hand to hold,

And I'll forget that I'm growing old.

I do not ask for cloudless skies,

A life that's free from tears and sighs.

Just give me a little face to kiss,

And anxious moments will turn to bliss.

For what is there, really, that means so much

As little hands that reach and touch,

As little eyes that search and see

Only the best in fragile me?

So let me grow more loving and wise

By looking at life through their wide eyes.

For through these little ones, you have given

This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

My two Jewels...getting too big for Nana to hold at the same time....but we try! :)

First Jewel having his first apple of the season from Grandpa's trees.

Second and newest Jewel who is getting so big! Look at those big eyes. Adorable.

I had the perfect weekend.
