Have you imagined how it feels when a parent becomes
a grandparent for the first time? The joyous feeling can't be explained,
but only experienced. A spark appears in the eyes of the grandparents
when they get to see their grandchild for the first time and those
moments are filled with gladness and delight. Grandparents, in fact,
take pride in being promoted to the senior most position in their family
tree! People have written poems describing how it feels like looking at
the baby who have given them the privilege of being grandparents. First
time grandparents' poems capture the emotions of grandparents who see
their newly born grandchildren. Read on to get a list of poems for first
time grandparents.
First Time Grandparents Poetry
The Gift of Grandparenting
Open your heart to your grandchild,
and your days
will suddenly fill with moments
of gladness and delight.
No bands will be marching,
no trumpets will be blaring,
so wake up and pay close attention,
or the gifts they're bringing
might quietly slip out of sight.

Wonderful Ways to Love A Grandchild
Grandchildren are God's helpmates
in charge of softening our hearts
and opening our eyes and ears'
to the simple sights and sounds
that bring us joy.
Grandparents are in charge of
gentle loving and forgiveness,
for persevering and strengthening
the heart connection in your family.

Grandma's Brag Book
"Just happen to have them with me..."
This is what I say.
But when it comes down to it,
I plan it just that way!
Just happen to have the pictures
Of my sweet grandchildren here---
I like it when folks say, "He's cute,"
Or, "isn't she a dear?"
Grandparents keep these photographs
And show them near and far...
Their pride is understandable---
That's how grandparents are!!!
