Dear Abby

Hopscotch, barbie dolls, playing house and jump rope Puddle jumping, finger painting, needing lots of soap Baking cookies, stuffed animals and having a pet rock Vibrant drawings on the driveway with colorful chalk Dance recitals, swimming lessons and girl guides Zoo visits, riding bikes and amusement rides Beach pails, sand castles, playing in the sun Building snow men, tobogganing, oh what fun Make up, nail polish, and lots of pretty dresses Pigtails, clips and head bands that tie up lovely tresses Bubble baths, cuddles and telling fairy tales Playing dress up... pretend weddings with silky veils Hide and go seek, swing rides and trips to the dollar store Tea sets, making crafts and laughter and smiles galore Kisses, hugs, abundance of love, never will she be deprived Time to rejoice for my precious first grand child has arrived. Abigail Clara Rose Born March 11, 2012

oh, my, this is so much like a poem I wrote about the time when my daughter was only about ten years old (all of 25 years ago she was that old) SWEET title. It is so fitting for the poem and yet has that double meaning!
