AMBER

This poem so much reminds me of the day you were born.

TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER

by Anne Shanholtz

What can I wish you, little one
To make your life worthwhile
A summer's day with butterflies
An Angel's gentle smile
A newfound friend to share your toys
and fun filled days galore
A birthday treat with funny clowns
balloons and so much more
a goodnight kiss to calm your fears
when all your playtime's 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 pickup sticks
and little balls that squeak
The ice cream truck's melodic chimes
enticing you with treats
popsicle 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..
