A Letter To My Granddaughter

When daddy brought you home all eyes were on you As I held you tight to my heart as you rap your Little finger around mine and smile was all I can do As the years go bye every night I drop to my knees And pray to the lord to keep you safe Not a day goes bye that I don’t miss my angle face Sweet voice calling out the name you choice for me How you would always say your so silly How you eat and run not gain a pound The bed time story The wake me up to make you break feast Each morning and ask to help cook Bye my side Our when you hide one of your toys That I come across when you go back home The way you wrinkle your nose when asked A question you don’t know How you pose for each picture with your hands At your sides and a smile How we point at our eyes to say I Tap our hearts as to say love Point to you and I as to say you I love you The birthdays come and go so fast The hugs come and go But in my heart I keep each visit And the kisses until I open the door To see you run into me with loving arms around me I miss you too
