Grandchild
by Barbara Philbrook

Have I told you "Grandchild" just how much you mean to me?
Have I shared with you that salvation is free?

Have I mentioned the joy you bring into my life?
You make it easier to bear trials and strife.

Have I made it clear that I hold your love most dear,
and when you are sad it makes my eyes tear.

Are you aware that you make my days seem brighter,
and the heaviest of loads magically feels lighter.

Hearing your voice lifts my spirits even higher.
The love in your eyes sets my heart on fire.

I look forward to spending eternity with you,
and I know our Heavenly Father is counting on that too!

Grandchild you make me proud that I've lived on this earth,
and you have given my life unmatched worth.

God be with you precious grandchild day and night,
and see us both home safely when our time is right.
