When our children are born we await all their milestones keeping an eye on their developmental clock
We don’t want to miss the first time they crawl, the first time they walk or they talk.
As they grow we’re amazed at how quickly they arrive at each new milestone
from riding a bike, heading off to school to driving a car of their own.
And we are thankful to witness each milestone…to be a part of that magical day
and glad as parents we have been blessed to be there every step of the way.
And sometimes our children have children…and as grandparents we still find a way
to experience some of their milestones…even if we’re not there every day.
Our youngest granddaughter was baptized in the ocean today… it was a wonderful sight to behold
and we felt blessed as grandparents to be there…watching another milestone unfold.
And it got us thinking about milestones…and it filled our hearts with pride
knowing when it comes to our family…we’ve been there…enjoying the ride.
We have reached many milestones in our own lives…and now watching our grandchildren grow…
it’s time for us to sit back…relax…and happily bask in their glow…
So as we watched today’s baptism conclude…in the sea neath a cerulean sky
We hope when the next milestone is reached…you’ll see the two of us standing close by.
