For my granddaughter

Every single night I say
Let me stay one more day
Let me see her matchless smile
Let me stay for a while

There is so much I don't want to miss
Her first romance, her first meaningful kiss
It used to be her first party dress
Now its the boys she wants to impress.

Let me be there to see the lace
The veil falling softly over her face
As she walks down the aisle with her dad
Please let us both be there for that.

I want to be there to see her first child
So we reach a new footing and smile
Two mothers together sharing a joy
Of maybe a girl, or maybe a boy.

I want to be there to see them grow
To see the pride in her eyes glow
I want to share all that life sends
To support and love her until mine ends.........
