What's a blessing, Grandma? <br /> I don't know what to say. <br /> So we had juice and pancakes, <br /> And I, at last, did pray. <br /> What's a blessing, Grandma? <br /> I don't know what it means. <br /> I really am quite puzzled <br /> For strange it really seems. <br /> A blessing is a prayer, dear. <br /> Ah, now you know at last, <br /> The words we say at mealtime <br /> A'fore to heaven cast. <br /> The biggest one, it seems to me, <br /> Is just so clearly true-- <br /> It's having such a grandson, <br /> Indeed, my blessing's you.<br /><br />Mary Lou Willoughby<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-s-a-blessing-grandma/
