Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

First Giggle

The radio was playing blues;
I danced and in my arms
My 3 month grandson focused on
Exuding all his charms.

But suddenly to my surprise
A brand-new trick emerged - 
A flat-out giggle, loud and clear
And oh, my heart just surged.

He giggled then a bunch more times
So his intent was clear - 
The music and the movement
Set his giggle track in gear.

I will not witness all his firsts
But this one was a thrill,
For laughter is a trait of which
I'll never get my fill.

Andrea Dietrich January 11, 2014 at 12:22 AM this is awesome, Ilene. I remember dancing with Hyrum when he was only half a year old and how he loved it! Hard to believe he is 11 years old now and has no rhythm. hahaha
