I thought I would share my grandmother poem she wrote about my mom

so many years ago. 

 

Judy

March 13, 1944, is a special day

Because God sent a beautiful daughter my way

I was so young, at the age of sixteen

But my motherhood love, was felt very keen

As I took her into my arms of love

Cheeks rosy and skin like a dove

I shall never forget, how my heart flowed with Joy

Because I wanted a girl and not a boy

And this baby girl; Judy, was the spark of my life

From the day she was born, till this very night

Not only today, but always she’ll be

A special daughter, yet my baby you see

For no matter how old or winkled or grey

God sent a beautiful daughter my way

Now that her faith is renewed in the Lord

And the word of God is her sword

I know that if in this world we should part

A beautiful assurance, I have in my heart

That someday in the sweet by-in-by, we shall meet

And praise the Lord and worship at his feet

And what a glorious Day this will be

Our blessed savior, we shall see

So now you see why this is a special day

Because she is a special daughter, in every way.
