I did something right

As I witness the birth of my first grand child

 

 

 

 

I did something right

By jack

 

If by chance you see me smile

Now beaming all a’ glow

Staring at a miracle

I just want you to know

 

That as my eyes are tearing

There’s no need for concern

They only show my happiness

Of lessons I have learned

 

I look upon these faces

Such joy to greet my eyes

And lucky is a word I use

When now I realize

 

For all the times I’ve worried

Those nights of little sleep

Thoughts my mind did cultivate

This joy is what I reap

 

Of every dream I’ve harbored

And everything I see

This night you bring a miracle

And start a family

 

I wrap my arms around you

And hold you oh so tight

For finally now my eyes can see

That I did something right

That picture made me lactate *laugh* Oh my god how I love this poem, Jack...Congratulations to you and your lovely daughter (she looks great, by the way...the picture of me and my newborn daughter depicts a frazzled, sweaty, albeit luminous kimmer xD)...Derek is such a handsome lad! I did a little crying myself, reading this piece...it moved me to tears. Exceptionally well done.
