Requirements of a Grandmother

A grandmother’s heart has to be made big and grand.

So she can fit each little one in with room to expand.

A grandmother’s arms have to be made sturdy and strong.

So they can comfort and hug away every wrong.

A grandmother’s lap has to made readily available and clear.

So she has room for any who are needing to be near.

A grandmother’s mind has to be sharp and conscise.

So she can keep track of whose turn it is; who gets the next slice.

A grandmother’s prayer life has to be feverent, availing much.

So her little ones are covered with the Almighty’s touch.

A grandmother’s walk with God has to be consistent that never sways.

So her little ones will walk in her footsteps all of their days.
