My First Poem to My First Grandchild
Posted: January 14, 2017
Dedicated to Imogen Isobel Anderson…
I'm imagining, wee Imogen,
how you will touch our lives
with images of how much we are loved
by a Father we have never seen
who demonstrates His care
through daily mercies we're most needful of.
Precious Imogen, your Papou
is ecstatic with delight
as I contemplate the moments we will share.
Those dimples that define your face
remind me of your mom
who grew up way too fast with years to spare.
And so I pledge, granddaughter dear,
to cherish every day
the Lord allows me to be here with you.
I want to be a means of grace
by which your faith will grow
before my days on earth are finally through.
*Little Imogen was born to my daughter and her husband on January 8, 2017 (Epiphany Sunday)
