Another Little Girl

 

Another little Girl

There’s a second little granddaughter in my heart to stay,

Her name is Hannah, and she is growing every day,

She was born at 36 weeks, but is healthy and is strong,

She will need to be tough, but don’t get me wrong,

She has two older brothers who love her very much,

She is her daddy’s little angel and her mother’s prayerful touch,

Her Mama always wanted a little girl to complete their family,

And when she asked God for her, He said “yes” happily,

My son was in shock for about a month or two,

He didn’t consider himself a girl dad; oh my, what would he do?

Well, let me tell you, she's got him wrapped around her finger,

He looks at her with loving stares and doesn’t even remember,

When he wasn’t a “girl dad”, because it was meant to be,

Heaven sent a little girl to make his offspring three,

Now the score is tied, I have two granddaughters and two grandsons,

And most likely they won’t be the only ones,

My husband and I raised three boys,

There was a lot of excitement and a lot of noise!

Now we have two precious little girls to love,

So, I can’t help but think they were sent from above,

No one wanted a little girl to hold more than Jerry did,

He was raised with no sisters when he was a kid,

I feel he knows these grandchildren and is very proud,

Even though he’s in Heaven, I hear him say out loud,

“We are so blessed”.
