Granddaughter
For our Granddaughter-Fayth-
You came to us from the island and you brought
to us a youthful innocence-filled with adventure-
a life that measures the earth with your heart-
You brought also the sweetness of your smile-
the honey that bursts into light-
I have seen no eyes so bright as yours-
no heart so sweet-nor such gentle kindness-
I have seen nothing so alive
as your begining journey through life-
Now you know-granddaughter-how much we love you-
and that for us-you are the brightness that
bursts and bears the flower of spring-
you are the fragrance of a garden in
the pathway of our lives-
I place my heart to earth and hear you-
I hear your laughter and your excitement
of life and adventure-You are a-Little
butterfly-sweet and sure-Grandpa Gord-
