Hallie the Halloween cat had an evil look
Her eyes were amber, she was never shook
The stare she gave people made them shiver and shrink
I was terrified of her myself, as are the frig and the sink
I did not know appliances feared anything, someone said.
Are you kidding? One stare from that cat and they might be dead.
She has already put the dishwasher and garbage disposal on the brink.
Here Hallie comes again! Screamed the kitchen sink.
Hallie
??
you light up every room
If I’m down you lift all my gloom
Your beautiful little face
Would brighten up any place
That cheeky little grin
Your cute little chin
Your funny little ways
You never cease to amaze
I can’t wait for you to grow
But a part me of wants you to take it slow
I can’t wait to see
How you will be
Though I don’t see you every day
I want you listen to what I say
There’s a place in my heart that will never alter
There will always be room for you my beautiful granddaughter
Stand up and cheer very loudly if you know your a’s, b’s, and c’s.
Not so fast, Quinton, Hallie, Sammy, Tom, Brandon, and Kimberly.
Kindergarten is tough if you don’t know your letters or how to write pages, numbered.
Kindergarten is more like first grade used to be when your grandparents so lumbered.
Unfortunately, five is the new seven, because most of your peers have been in school 2 years
By the time these seasoned 5’s reach kindergarten, they are way ahead in knowledge, worksheets, and cheers.
They know the school song, the slogan, the principal, the vice, and both pledge of aliegences all by heart.
They are so far ahead of you who did not attend preschools, that it is not a very even start.
Just be aware that what you are learning is for your own good, and the good of your parents, but how?
When you grow up and you know so much stuff, hopefully you can begin taking care of them both now.
Collided..

Our worlds collided and we met you took my breath away with just a kiss a sweet touch of your hand while holding my hand, you stole my heart. We became friends then lovers that led to Husband and wife, there's not one day that goes by that I don’t love you. I look at you and still get butterflies, I still feel the fireworks when we kiss.
Our two dogs are named Dora and Hallie
They have become very much part of our family
Many times they sleep side by side on our ottoman
Best of friends, asleep together they look as if one
