My Little Ballerina Jacklyn I love you more than you can possibly know. Gpa Somehow I missed the moment I didn't get to see her twirl. My little ballerina my little dancing girl. Loving her forever even long before she's born. I loved every step she took and every dancing shoe she's worn. Born against the odds they said she's born of holy water. My little dancing angel my only daughters daughter. With time and distance in between no way for me to travel. All the dreams of her and I I slowly watched unravel. Still miles can't stop a grandpas love it speeds across the ocean. The breeze that's sometimes in your hair is a grandpas love in motion. Not seeking fame or fortune nor love and not romance. It's on it's way to watch her sway and see grand daughters dance. If only in my mind I see like I've watched from the start. Every move my little angel makes I see it with my heart. Edwin C Hofert

Oh this is so sweet and lovely. The content and the rhythm and rhyme are just right. Poignant but not too heavy. a 7 for your poem for your grandaughter! :)
