~ To My Granddaughter ~ 

What can I wish you, little one, 
to make your life worthwhile 
A summer's day with butterflies, 
an Angel’s gentle smile 
A new-found friend to share 
your toys and fun-filled days galore 
A birthday treat with funny clowns, 
balloons and so much more 

A good night kiss to calm your fears 
when all your playtime ís done 
Tiny fingers clasped in prayer 
and morning’s golden sun 

Cows that moo and dolls that cry 
and teddy bears that speak 
Candy Land and pick-up sticks 
and little balls that squeak 

The ice cream truck's melodic chimes, 
enticing you with treats 
Popsicles running down your cheeks, 
delicious sticky treats 
A rainbow's magic colors to enchant 
you after rain 
A puddle to reflect your face 
and make you laugh again 

All this and my undying love to last 
you through the years 
My wish I give you for all time, 
much laughter and few tears 

A pocketful of colored dreams
 --sparkling clean and bright 
Stars to shine when darkness comes 
to brighten up your night 

Loved ones to surround you with 
cloaks of love and laughter 
This special wish I give to you 
for now and ever after. 


This poem was written for some 
very special children 
--the Grandchildren who touch our 
lives and our hearts
