Thanks Lynn, I found it quite challenging using H as the first word and getting it to make sense. I did a couple of alterations after I had posted it but am now happy with the final poem:-) hugs jan xx

I've amended it to great grand daughter as I has 'his' twice as the first words and didn’t want to repeat any words. Hugs Jan xx
