Your words extol the miracle in Josiah that only God has wrought.Your pride in your grandson is justified.I have just taken on the task of teaching English to a 4 year old child from Beijing and I am awed by his intelligence. What a responsibility!

This poem overflows with love and thankfulness
for the blessing of this miracle baby! Beautifully
written in glory of both his name and his creator.

Hello royowen, Your poem is beautifully penned and a strong contest entry, especially:

In Heaven's scroll your name is scribed
from ancient times its seed's derived,
in aeon's mist, this plan was writ
those inward parts God's hand would knit.

Congratulations on Jo-Jo's birthday. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Hello Roy...I don't often award a sixth star but this truly touched my heart.

Life's glow and grace flow in your veins
God's light will shine, His peace ordains,
He chose your name and wrote this creed
you're sealed in Christ, His chosen seed.

Jo is indeed a miracle child and I love the Scriptural reference from Psalms. Very well crafted and rhymed
Bear

What a lovely tribute to your grandson and life in general. We never know what mystery God is planning. We never know how a child will touch us and change our lives forever. Thank you! A simple poem with so much depth and meaning.
