In June my granddaughter turned 3. A couple weeks later it was as if a vocabulary flood gate opened! She went to bed one night, walked subconsciously through a dream door, and awoke with a dictionary flowing from her lips! That I might add, did not come with an "on/off" switch! She, like most her age, entered the communication world and found it a rewarding place to be. She tells me everything she knows. How Mommy is doing, and Daddy, and about the car, and the phone that fell off of the car. About her shoes that she couldn't put on because they were dirty, so we had to clean them with a little spray and paper towel. She is so simple and innocent. Her thoughts and conversation so pure. Each of our talks end with "I love you Gamma", I say "I love you", she says "I love you soooo much", I say "I love you soooo much", she says "I love you more", I say "I love you more", and a look of satisfaction shows on her face. With an angelic smile, and soft golden curls, just like her dad's used to be, she is surely straight from heaven! A smile covers my face too, and my heart flutters, she is so precious. A beautiful gift to her parents, her "Gamma", and the whole family, even the whole world! Thank you Lord!

A Girl

A little pink,
a little lace,
maybe a daisy or two,
lollipop lips,
and sticky kisses especially for you.
The wonderful things
a child brings
to set your heart awhirl,
all the fun,
all the love,
wrapped up in a little girl!
