Excited hands grasp tinsel, the silver strand
reflects the light.
Curious eyes document every new change, her Christmas
delight.
Twinkling bulbs on the decorative tree are
enhanced with joyous laughter from her heart.
Exploring fingers grasp a present, storing memories of childhood,
never to impart.
Grandmother watches with delight; God had bestowed
a precious treasure, her granddaughter's, Hannah's, birth.
Yet her adoring mind carries a song in heart, for Hannah is an
entrancing sparkle, added to her home hearth.
Hannah's first Christmas brought a exceptional
gift to her family.
Yet Grandmother's eyes reach out to enclose her cherished
granddaughter in radiant pool, lovingly.
All pain and sorrow are taken away by the hugs and
kisses of Hannah, her shining angel forever.
One look at her happy grandchild, her heart is filled with elation,
her special healing lever.
