RAKEAM The first time that I saw him
My heart was filled with love.
His big brown eyes, his sunny smile
Lit up the skies above.
He held his little arms out
And I sat him on my knee.
I cuddled him and kissed him
And held him close to me.
He's my little Grandson Rakeam
A special little lad.
Who came into our family
And made us all so glad.
So smile on darling Rakeam
For you fill my heart with joy.
Thank you Lord for blessing us
With this lovely little boy. By Doreen Smith
