Charles

He grasped my daughter,
As he once did me
Pulled her close,
Placed her on his knee
Called her "baby-doll"

She playfully feigning
Attempts to get away
Refusing to say
The magic word
As once did I

My mother's father
Delighting in her,
And she in him
Contented to be
Together

Every child should have such a wonderful grampa. This is a nice tribute to a very special relationship that is rarer than a blue rosebud.

You expressed this beautifully. I recall watching my parents with my newborn son, amazed...it made me truly understand the continuity of life and love across generations. Just Amazing.
