Background
This book is dedicated to my first grandchild. It is meant to not only chronicle my thoughts as she grows but to also share stories about her mom and dad. Of course, it is a grandmother's prerogative to add advice and snippets of wisdom now and then.

lying on my chest
fingers tickling my throat
naptime is special
to help dry your tears
walking carpet floors for you
new spin on old tune
when you smile at me
what is it that you see
or are you happy just to be
secure here in my arms
then you laugh at me while I
ensure that you are dry
and give a contented sigh
I’m enchanted by your charms
the times when I’m with you
is there nothing you will do
which will not seem brand new
as we continue this journey
some day your mom will see
the best gift she’s given me
is trusting her dear Lexi
after surviving growing up with me
my mom and she were tight
and I often stare into the night
thinking about all that’s surely right
for us to continue the tradition
so I will promise this
on every hug and kiss
there’s little we will miss
as we carve out our rendition
of
grandmas and granddaughters
