I Have a New Grandson

I have a new grandson- born on the fifth of may- who is just about perfect in nearly every way. From the crown of his head to the tip of his toes, and back again to his little button nose. He has the full compliment of everything he should- ten fingers, ten toes- and of course- one of those. He is a little towhead with eyes of dark blue, and every time I see him he can manage something new. He is my daughter’s son so he jabbers all the time- he even seems already to enjoy a nursery rhyme. Of course the meaning in the words is not as yet found- but he responds to the rhythm and the rhyming sound. Perhaps in future years, he too will write poetry- but if he does- I certainly hope- he’ll do better than me @2008
