Young James Lee



my grandson, who is so precious to me.
who melted my heart, and filled it with glee.
the love that filled the room that day
was more then any troubles could take away
the love that i seen in your mommies eyes,
was instant and stronger then you will ever realize
now realize your mom is young and will make mistakes
but she will do her best for you, whatever it takes.
as i watch her with you, in her arms embraced
i know her love is one you will never replace
there is a special little man and that would be you
lets not forget your daddy, he loves you too
as for grandchildren, for me, you make three
there is you, Damian, and Kaymarie
i am writing this as i sit here alone
as we wait for the day for you to come home
now my kids and grandchildren mean the world to me
so, welcome to the family, young James Lee
