Hannah's Four

Can you believe our Hannah
Is already four years old?
She rations hugs and kisses
As though they're made of gold.

She has a mop of long brown hair
And big, dark, long lashed eyes.
She's just about the smartest child
You'll ever find her size.

I know it's not polite to brag,
But it is a grandma's right
And since I am her GREAT grandma,
I can just brag a sight.

She can write her name, do her sums
And knows her ABC's.
Our Hannah is nice and polite.
She says thank you and please.

She goes to bed when Mommy asks
After she says her prayer
And doesn't guess how much she's loved
As she lies dreaming there.

She sounds just precious, Joyce!

Time sure does fly. I can't believe that my grandchildren are already 10, 5 and 3. It seems like only yesterday...

Dear Joyce:

The only thing missing from this poem was a picture of Hannah on her birthday!!  Hard to believe she is 4 already.

Love

Dear Joyce

I'm yet to be a grandmother, but this poem of yours has touched me deeply.  A wonderful verse.

Love Isobel

Ah, this is so sweet Joyce. What a treasure grandchildren are. I have three grandsons now and the eldest will be five on the 21st of this month. He reminded me of this fact yesterday and dragged me to the calendar to confirm the fact. LOL. Hugs, Chris
