Intercontinental Grandparents

My cousin’s tenth grandchild was born in Germany on Sunday. The baby’s mom and maternal grandparents are German citizens. My cousin is a third generation American and is firmly planted in the United States.

God smiled and brought you this grandchild.

May you release your preconceived notions
And let love guide you across oceans.

May you feel a deep connection
Created by Divine perfection.

Whether in body, video, phone, mail, or mind
May this child know his grandparents are kind.

May you feel the thrill of his wonder growing
Applaud the skill of his increased knowing.

May you experience his laughter and joy
Bring comfort when sadness touches this boy.

May you leave a beautiful legacy in his heart
That continents or time can never take apart.
