This poem is dedicated to my new little granddaughter, Zinnia Leiser, who was born on October 22, 2019. :)

A precious bud was born this hour a lovely little Zinnia flower her soft new petals grace the stage with newness of life, a beautiful babe. With a halo of fine sweet angel hair no other has entered the world so fair with sapphire eyes and cherubic charms she’s carefully placed in her mother’s arms. As her new mom weeps and her father sighs this sacred moment cannot be denied for heaven has sent a gift this hour a pure and priceless Zinnia flower. Written on 11/11/2019

Laura, this is so tender! I'm sure you will pass along your love of nature to your granddaughter. Don't you love that she has a flower for a name! Hugs ~ John

Thank you so much, sweet Connie! Actually, this is our second grandchild. We have a grandson from our other son who is 5 yrs. old. Wish we lived closer to them, as they live in NY and we live in California!
