The Childhood Series


A surprise birthday party for Grandma...her 90th.
All the grandkids and great-grand kids made it.....from all over the nation.
It was two years in the making. :-)

To Grandmother's House We Go

We had counted the hours
Until we were there,
Dressed up in smiles
And a whisper of prayer.

When she entered the room,
There was caution and love.
A birthday watched over,
By God from above.

And she was so perfect,
So gracious and fine.
Said, I'll see eveyone,
And she took the time.

She was now ninety,
Much wiser than me,
I was just knowing
My family tree.

When ocean touched ocean,
And the grandkids stood tall,
I saw happy teardrops,
Fourteen in all.

A proud team we were,
And didn't even know,
In twenty-four hours
Did I ever grow.

I'll never lose sight
Of the way that we cared.
I'll never forget
New memories shared.

All the emotions
That sometimes were sad,
Secret thoughts hidden
Behind faces so glad.

All the deep feelings
That words cannot touch,
Were wrapped up inside us,
Our hugs said so much.

When our goodbyes were over,
And we each left our own,
I cried like a baby,
From Grandma's to home.

I will always remember,
That day shared with kin,
And I wonder sometimes,
Could we do that again.
