A Little Bit Like You Grandma Is there anything about me That makes you think of you? Something in the way I talk Or in the things I do? Can you see yourself a little bit? Oh, could it just be true ~ That in my most becoming ways, I’m a little bit like you? Grandma, Just roll back the years, Remember long dark curls? I know (for Daddy told me) Grandmas, too, were little girls. Remember when the lovely days Of childhood were your own? Do I remind you just a teeny bit Of happy days at home? Grandma, I think you’re special ~ It would please me to no end, To think I made you reminisce About a girl back then; With soft brown eyes and long dark curls, Oh, Grandma! Say it’s true, That in some sweet and tender way, I remind yourself of you! © by Joan Clifton Costner A Little Bit Like You (Grandma’s response) Jesus, Is there anything about me That makes You think of You? Something in the way I talk Or in the things I do? Can You see Yourself a little bit? Oh, could it just be true ~ That in my most becoming ways, I’m a little bit like You? Jesus, Just roll back the years, Remember a starry night? I know (I’ve told it often) How that new star shone so bright!. Remember when the lovely days Of childhood were your own? Then You worked so hard at Calvary To give me my mansion home! Jesus, You are so special ~ It would please me to no end, To think I made you reminisce About a child of God back then; With a job to do for love of God, Oh Jesus! May it be true, That in my small but faithful ways, I remind Yourself of You! © by Joan Clifton Costner Jesus... There are little ones now all around me Born with my blood in their veins; And they look to me such a treasure The path I follow must be made plain! For they want to be just like me, Lord, And I want to be just like You - So nudge me a little bit harder In the things You’d have me do. http://www.heavenlypoetry.com> Used with Permission.
