My Grandson Lucas

His soft lavendar shaded skin was delicate as silk, like petals from a rose. Adorning blue eyes glazing into a calm blue sky, A radiant smile like the rays of a bright yellow sun. The hair that adorned the top of his head was as black as lumps of coal Found along side the railroad yard,and sparkled at times as if diamonds specially placed among his tiny round head. The joy it brings to see his tiny arms stretch strenously to relect life being placed in a frail tiny body. A faint smell of an insanity flower garden seemed to fill the cold drab room. Small tiny fingers attached to a fragile hand,grasping on to the soft blanket, That wrapped around his thin body.His touch feels like a gentle lamb. The butterfly kisses are like the taste of milk and honey flowing from a jar. His grin broadens showing his teeth that are white as snow. A glance at his elegant small feet with stubby short toes, That would someday fill the shoes of a strong fine man. He gleams like a ray of light, Like the white snow glistens, Precious and sweet he is as an angel from Heaven.
