Logan Is a Sweet Character

I loved him at first sight.
Blue eyes and a subtle smile,
Stole my heart in one night.
We snuggled for a long while.

The wait had finally ended.
Long, thin, and lanky –
Perfection had descended.
Even though, at times cranky.

I saw innocence in those eyes.
A pure trust I must fulfill.
Purring like a kitten, then cries.
To know him at last was a thrill.

He is a blessing, a gift so rare,
Brought me joys and sorrows.
We have years, yet to share.
Always, I hope for tomorrows.

I thank God for his curiosity.
He laughs even when he is sick.
Grabs hold of every adversity.
Adding entertainment to the mix.

He goes to daycare, I must confess.
Then, the perpetual motion begins.
Active?  Yes.  Cooperative? Yes.
That grandson of mine is full of grins.

Ahhh, I bet he is adorable. Grand kids keep us young. My little two and half year old granddaughter keeps me laughing at things she does and says and then she will say, what are you laughing at Grandma? Which makes me laugh even harder. Congrats on this delightful winning poem Dane Ann!#7
