A little boy, Clayton Liam,
Is the first great-grandchild;
The fact he starts a new generation,
In my mind is filed.

He is such a cute little being,
So very innocent and sweet;
Spending time with Clayton,
Is a special and favorite treat.

In him I see his father,
I see his mother, too;
Life once again continues,
For he proves this is true.

Clayton will be a big brother,
The family stretches and grows;
Love will always bind us,
This is one thing I know.

Clayton, as you continue to grow,
I pray you will know my Lord;
I pray you learn of Him,
And with Him are never bored.

I pray you will find the strength,
To do what is always right;
I pray that you will learn to forgive,
And not insist on the fight.

Clayton Liam, know you are loved,
Not just by Mom and Dad;
We all love the boy you are,
You are one fine lad.
