Notes About The Poem

Text sent to granddaughter

I heard your exciting news today A brand new baby on the way Congratulations to you and your man I’m so delighted to be a great gran Your mum is happy, she waited a while And ecstatic dad has a permanent smile But remember my dear this is not a toy It’s real live baby, girl or boy. Have you thought of a name for this bundle of joy ?

Everybody below seems to be jumping up and down so I think I'm safe to assume the above poetic delight is true-life-heart composed! Congrats. I became a 1st time GM 3-29 (I've never typed or written that before, oh, I must be so much older than I was yesterday.) It's a great feel. 2nd to last line needs an 'a' for perfection??Love it ...

Thank you Andrea. Yes, I had a hard time thinking of something with the last line as a question LOL. So just came up with a little rhyme. Cheers.
