A Grandson Married (Poem)

Our first grandson got married on Saturday.  How blessed we are to have a wonderful new granddaughter as a mate to our equally wonderful grandson! I wrote this poem for the reception.

 A Grandson Getting Married

A grandson getting married!
How could that possibly be?
I know twas only yesterday,
When I held him on my knee.

Wasn't it only months ago
When his mother came to me,
And shared her secret of life inside,
As she spoke excitedly?


Now here he is, a groom no less,
Where went his childhood days?
What happened to the baby boy?
With his baby thoughts and ways?

I do remember a growing teen
Who caught many mama's eyes
As the perfect match for their daughters.
Those mamas were very wise.

But our grandson was not an easy catch.
I remember that now, too.
He wouldn't settle for just any girl;
Only the best would do.

So here she is.  He found her.
The best to stand at his side.
For him the one and only girl,
For him, the chosen bride.

Life does pass by so quickly.
From babe to grown up man.
From bride to mom to grandma
From groom to proud old gramp.

So grandson just remember
Enjoy your sweet young bride.
The days will pass quickly, and someday you'll hold
A grandma at your side.
