I was an old woman breathing my last breaths I had no future vision I was embracing my death My life was behind me no happiness left But God had been planning and I didn't know it yet Like a ray of sunshine God gave me a blessing A grandson to be mine gave me a reason for living Perfect love then filled me as my heart overflowed A vision of beauty excitement for the unknown Through his eyes I saw things as a child again Reminding me who I was and an adventure began Years fell away from me a youthful feeling brewed A deep love ran through me and a quiver of youth

I wrote this for my only grandchild, I was sick when he was born, but he brought me back to life and I was reborn.
