I am Other Nanny

I have a cousin, my favourite cousin,

She has fourteen grandchildren.

Fourteen! So, she shares some with me.

*

My grandsons,

They bring me unlimited delight.

*

Isaac is beautiful with huge blue eyes,

When the clouds lace over a hot summer sky, I think of his eyes.

His hair is blonde, curly, angelic.

He is full of joy in his achievements, walking, playing with his brothers.

*

Elias is mischievous and full of energy. His

Demonstrations of love don’t come easily, so

they are more precious because they are rare.

*

Zac is curious and enthusiastic about life,

He loves to learn. He is artistic,

And boisterously happy. Talks and talks.

*

I never forget the privilege I have.

To be allowed in their lives, to love them,

To watch them grow and develop.

*

Until you have your own grandchildren,

You will hear how great they are,

But you won’t know the pure joy until they are yours.
