He sits
completely unaware of
how his innocence touches
my heart.
He talks with me
so openly
and shares his thoughts
without reserve.
There is no subject
wild or tame
no thought too silly
or too sincere
no hesitation to proclaim
what lies within his tender soul.
I sit
amazed and humbled, too
at how subliime, how purely sweet.
The font of love
fills to the brim
leaks from my eyes as I
sit with him.
Oh, I have loved
and nurtured too,
my own dear babies, one by one.
But Heaven has shown me even more
when I get to sit
with my grandson.
