I became grandma




My daughter carries the child firm
In her womb for ten months term;

 Like a pearl kept in the shell, the child
grows to be delivered into the world;

 Head, chest, abdomen, hands and legs grow
along the internal organs with heart and brain;

 I feel longing to see the face of the child
the first appearance in to the world;

I count the days to hug softly
And kiss the baby soothingly;

The beautiful moon has slipped down
Came to the earth upside down;

 The doctor and nurse attended delivery
My daughter delivered a female child;

I became grandma instantly
I feel happy extremely!
