The majesty of a tree,
The gentleness of morning dew,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The beauty of the twilight hour,
The soul of a starry night,

The faith of the mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family’s need,

Grandmothers Are So Special
Shirley Rublee

A grandmother is so special,
A treasure in our lives;
A cheerful smiling person
Who is also very wise.

She will listen to our stories,
And may add one of her own.
She is quick to help with projects,
Makes all welcome in her home.

Her smile is always ready
With a cheery word or two,
To encourage her grandchildren
In all they try to do.

Oh, Grandma, how I love you,
It’s so good to have you near;
And may God bless you richly
For you deserve it Grandma, Dear!
