Due Date

January 7, 2017  - Due Date of our first grandbaby.
After many months of watching our daughter-in-law's belly grow, we have finally reached the end of gestation and arrived at the "due date" with great anticipation.

This poem was written back when we first learned of the pregnancy, and is dedicated to our new little grandbaby boy:  Charles Edward Harvey
Postscript:  Charlie came early, arriving 12/30/2016 at 4:59pm

Grandbabies
Baby fingers, tiny toes,
Ruby lips, a button nose,
Rosy cheeks, curious eyes,
Sweet and tender baby cries,
Innocent little helpless one,
Could be a daughter or a son,
Unborn baby in the womb,
We will meet you very soon,
Praying for a healthy birth,
And a blessed life on earth,
Heaven-sent but in our care,
I wonder if you are aware,
How much love we have to show,
Grandbaby, as you grow and grow.
