A GRANDMOTHER--1948 
(To My Grandohildren)

It's great to be grandmother 
To my babies, large and small, 
Children of my children, 
Makes me mother of them all.

Good to feel their soft caresses, 
Good to share their work or fun;
Know their simple, sweet confiding,
Know the joy in things they've done.

Blessed as mother and grandmother, 
What a pleasure it can be, 
Just the sharing of these children 
Which my children gave to me.
