Baby toes
kicking in play
Little arms
wrapped me
in love and laughter
given by my
little lady.
Happy grandbabies'
smiles kissed
my memories forever.
Shared Lifesaver gummies
One or two
gifted from
my little man
proof of his love
shared between
us two.
No flowers
no cards
came to my door
but my grandbabies'
love is what
was shown
to me on
Valentines Day.
Little eyes
happy but sleep weary
gazed upon me
in the dim light
before he said,
"I love you Nookie, Always."
as he took
a deep restful breath
and drifted off to sleep.
A dozen of flowers
wouldn't have
meant the same to me.
No words on a card
would mean as much
as my grandbabies,
Love for me.

Thank you so. I love my grandchildren too. Children are great but almost every grandparent I know thinks their grandchildren are the best-looking and smartest in the world!😉❤️😊💕
Aww this is so sweet... all my mom ever asks me for the holidays is a day with the kids. I'm pretty sure my mom doesn't love me as much as she loves my kids... I'm not sure how to feel about that but HEY. My mom AND my kids are happy so it works out great. Grandmothers are so so SO important. Happy Valentines day Nookie!
