your beauty and perfection,
astounds me
your joyous chatter,
surrounds me,
your smile bewitches my heart,
your cry, when you are hurt
wrenches my heart,
your mischief enthralls me,
your diet of chocolate appalls me
your huge round eyes entreat me,
for more candies they beseech me,
I vow, not to succumb to the magic of that gaze,
I vow not to add, to your harmful diet phase,
but you my beloved, are my grandaughter after all,
and one loving look from you, and my resolve takes a fall,
every trip to the market is for spoiling you fully,
and you take full advantage, my darling little bully,
the joy you bring to our lives is untold,
when you are with us, our happiness multiplies manifold,
what is about grandchildren, that brings a special smile,
I resolve to give an inch, but you manage to take a mile
I love watching you grow, I can enjoy every bit,
with you I have all the time, with them I couldnt sit,
I can relive those days, remebering every milestone,
all the times I neglected them, with you I can atone,
I love you my little darling, more than you will ever know,
because you are the child, of my child,
and I really love her so.
