Like a tiny vine,
Ingrid Amy Ellis,
Granddaughter of mine.
Grow upon your trellis.
In your sunny spring
Or when storm clouds gather
You will learn to cling
To a loving father.
Though hot sun or hail
Follow one another,
Or through drought or gale,
Clasp a caring mother.
Do not trust in them
For their good behaviour -
All their strength will stem
From their Lord and Saviour.
May you trust in Him!
Triumph and disaster
Will disturb no limb
If He is your Master.
Then you will provide
Fruit the Lord can gather
- Fruit which will abide
For His God and Father.
For a first granddaughter - now four and with two little sisters.
