Sundays With Eli

Every Sunday we set time aside to hang out together Just him and I... We are the best buds in the whole wide world And when my son drops him off at my front door I remember why He thinks I am the greatest thing next to sliced warm apple pie He thinks I am the greatest opera singer And I am the best dancer too Today we hopped around to some crazy tunes The Beach Boys and some other oldies but goodies This afternoon I sang him Bible songs and taught him How to equally slobber on both shoulders He is my golden ray of sunshine--My Elijah! I think of him often I rehearse what songs I will sing to him I even write him into the story lines of my upcoming prose Oh you should see his rounded pink nose! He coos and he giggles And when we lay down for a nap he wiggles and wiggles Til he finds the perfect spot under my arm I love being a grandma And I love our Sundays together Eli and lola--best friends forever!
