”And Joseph went up
      to the city of David
      to be enrolled with Mary.

Can’t you just hear
      the grandparents-to-be
      mumbling?

“Who shouldn’t be traveling
      in her condition.”

“Who will be there
      to help out?”

      But as parents-to-be
      tend to do
      they journeyed anyway.

And the grandparents
      worried the time
      anxious for news.

It is the way
      of grandparents.

      in swaddling clothes
      and laid him in a manger.”

Listen to the newly made
      grandparents fuss:

“Imagine...
      that tiny baby
      ...those old things...
      and a bed of straw!”

Out to Bethlehem Penney’s...
      for a proper blanket
and a crib.

After all...
      this is a special child...
      “our first grandson!”

It is the way
      of grandparents.
