Greatness Through Generations

On a stool she sat at Greatfather's feet, He feeding her ice cream as a birthday treat. Two years old sitting up straight, to catch each yummy spoonful, Mouths open both of them., as the ice cream goes in. Sun shining brightly in the bay window, leaving both in a cool- shaded silhouette . A random picture taken, turns a sweet gesture into a loving memory for the two of them. Immortalized now forever in time, in a large frame, on a table beside the big green chair , Only he sits in. Copyright 2008 Anne Rutherford Poems from The Heart Series This is a real picture my grandson took ,shaded out the color, framed it and gave to my husband. A family treasure forever.

Hi Anne, yes I remember this one from lulu, liked it then just as much, though it is hard to imagine a sunny day, it is night here and the wind and rain are howling outside,I can't think of more enchanting whether and I'm very sorry for the people that don't like it (for example my elder sister)
