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-
