Swimming With Maia

Maia swims well, how time flies,
She's now nine,
Oh, the many poems I wrote about her...
When she was born,
When she was two,
When she was five,
Oh, my wonderful granddaughter,
The apple of my eye,

She wears her swimming goggles
And races with me,
She always wins,
She swims back stroke
As fast as fish swim.

Reminiscing these moments with her,
In our outdoor pool,
This beautiful summer of sun and warmth.
