Celebration Poem
Blessed is the grandmother Who follows the Lord,
So her children can learn and can grow ...
The unselfish grandmother Who holds on with love, Yet knows when it's time to let go.
Blessed is the grandmother Whose faith keeps her going Through trials and traumas and
cares, Who handles the easy With wisdom and love And the not-quite-so-easy...with
prayers.
Blessed is the grandmother Who meets all your needs From the very first day of your
birth, Blessed is the grandmother Who shares so much love, For she's God's special angel on
earth.
We love you, AmMama Barbara From Your Grandchildren
She is clothed with strength and dignity; She can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom,
And faithful instruction is on her tongue. Her children arise and call her blessed; Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be
praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city
gate. Proverbs 31 :25, 26, 28a, 30, 31
