Number One

Number One grandson
You'll always be adored, special, most loved, you see
You were born first
I can't change that fact,
I love all the others
And that's not an act.
You'll always have a special place in my heart
Loving you is easy  more instinct than art,
I've watched you grow from a baby to a young boy of nine
I've loved you through dinasaurs, Cars X Box and IPads (all fine)
I want to watch you grow into a happy young man
One who'll make time for his much loved Nan

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
