I am 100 percent certain that you added to his awesome prenatal qualities. An tell that from how proud you are writing this.
Great job here. There is no better feeling in the world than seeing that your children turned out right.

Hi
This is a cute picture that looks like it inspired the poem. I think babies like sleeping on someone's chest. I think the sound of the heart calms them down. I heard that once.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a good rest of the week.

Oh Willie, if I only had as many pictures of children in my arms as my husband does of ones laying on his chest or tummy, I would have something to prove that I am a mom and grandma. LOL. This is wonderful. The sentiments are so special and I think you have every right to be proud of your son. Awesome picture and wonderful loving poem. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Love, Debi

How sweet is that! There is nothing like a baby to melt our hearts. You have every reason to be proud of the legacy you and your wife have built together. She would have been so proud.

Thank you for posting this wonderful poem of a Grandpa's love for the little one! I'm a grandfather of five, ages 12, 10, 7, 5, 5 and I couldn't be any happier when they are around.
Excellent word choice and phrases in you poem.
Thank you for sharing,

This poem is so cute, and i love the happy tone of your ending:"At that moment,
My heart felt light,
If only great grandma
Could have seen that sight" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

There is little in the world that is more satisfying than having a sleeping infant lying upon your chest or in your arms. This wondrously rich experience is the source of energy in Mr. Smith's poem, "Love to Spare." I think the title's point is that grandparents have love to spare because they don't have the dense preoccupations of active parenthood to get in the way of loving expressions.
I personally think that there are a few lines with meters and word choices that could be improved. I think a "...sweet little thing.." wouldn't call their special space "their space." I think ' a cozy space' would be better. I'd write "My respect and love / He has won" as 'My love and respect/He's so surely won.' This is based on sound and flow preferences, and isn't a big deficit.
