Missing Hailey

Photo of Hailey, 6 Months Old

I long to kiss your tiny nose
Your cherub cheeks, your little toes;

I long to sing you lullabies
About kitty cats and butterflies;

I long to see you day or night
Hug and hold you oh so tight;

I long to caress your little head
And place you gently in your bed;

I long to watch you pat-a-cake
And click and clap and cute sounds make

I long to hear your sweet little voice
If only I could make that choice

I long to play “peek-a-boo” and laugh
And tell you “I see you!”

I long to see your precious smile
And linger there for a lengthy while

I long to look in your eyes so blue
And tell you how much I love you

I long to know why we had to part
My first grandchild, my angel, my heart;

I long for most that God will see
What the gift of you has meant to me.

Love,
Grandma
