SWEET GRANDCHILD

My sweet grandchild

you’re a little wild

making your way through this zoo.

You’re only two.

No fear

and so much heart.

Sweet child,

you’re off to a great start.

Keep reading your books.

You’ve got your daddy’s looks

and your momma gave you such fortitude

(now here comes her attitude).

But oh, that hug

and that cherub face—

I’m the recipient of so much grace.

And for you, my darling,

I’d give my last farthing.

To celebrate you —

Who’s just turned two!
