A Musical Name...Claire Elise

It's almost as if Beethoven, had seen her gamin face And had composed a melody...to match her given name My grandchild, sweet Claire Elise, I love your name, so fair You bear the name, so filled with grace of fragrant springtime air Each letter, bound together, forms a soothing lyrical sound She has mischief set between her eyes...and with cheeks the color rose Such a name that fits her many moods, like a poem so filled with prose She is daughter of springtime, impatient as the seasons Twirling like a whirlwind, never needing any reason She's an imp, she's a beauty, she is like a butterfly's cocoon She is living on the threshold, of a flower soon to bloom Summer glistens in her raven locks, winter hides behind her pout Autumn waiting in the colors, she is changing all about Her beauty leaves me breathless, like the sound of her sweet name Claire Elise...my love unfolds....a greater beauty still untold Beneath the moon, beneath the skies, just as your name implies You are the greatest gift, I've ever received, You are heaven sent, on angel wings From your mother's winsome smile And the teasing loving twinkle in your daddy's gleaming eyes

Speaking of names...Claire Elise does have a pleasant ring to it. I have a Leila Grace and Drew Ardyn here. I've been too busy to write this summer. Maybe I'll get back in the swing now. I've been keeping up with your winnings though! I read daily. Good luck with this one by the way. And be ready for the book,soon! RAY
