Poem
I had a talk the other day With someone Oh, so sweet Her smile was sweet and innocent, She swept me off my feet A flaxen haired young lady Between just four and five Her blue eyes twinkled as she talked So vibrant - so alive We walked and talked that sunny day Her interests were so fine We wandered aimlessly about Her hand held firm in mine She questioned many things that day So she would understand My answers were with humor And she clapped her little hands Then, with a hug about my neck A kiss, a squeeze with care She looked at me and sweetly said "I love you Granddad dear" I hugged her back and kissed her cheek With moisture in my eyes How can someone so very young Become so very wise? I put her gently on the ground With feelings so complete Away she streaked across the lawn On tiny sneakered feet With pigtails flying in the breeze Within my heart I felt A thankfulness to God above As on the grass I knelt I watched her scurry to and fro As busy as could be And every now and then she'd turn And look back up at me I stood to hurry after her She stopped and waited then I realized she accepted me As playmate and as friend Her hands she placed upon her hips She waited as though mad And then she smiled her angel smile And said, "Hurry up Granddad." I only hope the two of us Walk many, many miles I'd walk from hewre to Timbuktu To see my grandchild smile And should she ask for me to come I's never question why She means so very much to me My sweet granddaughter KAI!
