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 ?

CayCay Jennings Date: 4/7/2025 11:26:00 AM 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 ...

I didn’t realise I had Missed the ‘a’ Thanks for the heads up. Cheers.

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.
