Zephyr

My arms are filled with pure contentment my heart is knit to this precious bundle of love my fingers slowly caress his fair, soft cheeks my eyes look deeply into his innocent blue eyes. From the moment I beheld him, I was smitten he is still yet a tiny bud upon the flower of life I pray I will see this little one bloom to maturity to see him thrive within the loving soil of his family. His essence, his sweetness, resonates within my soul God has truly gifted me with a beautiful grandson I am beyond blessed and will pray each and every day that little Zephyr will come to know God in every way. 12/13/2021

It's a blessing to be able to live in the moments of your children and grandchildren but imagine when your great, great grandchildren read what you have written about their parents and grand parents. No amount of money compares to that and there is no greater gift or legacy. That what writers do Laura.

There's no doubt... they will want to read it.

Your grandma love is oozing out of every line of this love poem to your little Zephyr. I know his family is moving away but you will find creative ways to bond with those 2 darlings you adore, including writing poems like this one! Yuletide blessings to you and your dear family ~ John

Is his name truly Zephyr? Love it! I have a friend whose grandson is named Everest. Both are strong names! You have a beautiful grandson and he has a likewise beautiful grandma with a heart for Jesus!
