Grandparents wouldn't miss
      something as important
      as a naming ceremony.

Such events are reason
      to drop everything
      and travel long miles.

There would be worry
      about proper clothes
      for baby blessing.

And whether that
      old clergyman
      could handle the child.

A holy tremble comes unbidden
      at the though of God
      blessing this special one.

They would make it known...
      humbly, of course...
      whose grandchild this is.

It is the way
      of grandparents.
