I Am Almost Happy

(for my grandson) I am almost happy Writing this letter to you Even though I am yet to see you You are hardly a month old I am told I won't interfere with your growth now Hopefully we'll talk about everything When you are old enough To understand Well My mother Your great grandma Sang for me a lullaby That was ages ago I sang it to your father When he was like you A boy of one month And he slept Then I left I pray I can still remember the song To sing for you If I ever get to meet you Dreaming of it I am almost happy
