(Lyra, I just wanted to let you know that your poem "Granddaughters" touched my heart so much and made me cry because it's so beautiful. This is a special poem I wrote last year dedicated to you and other wonderful friends here who have daughters or grand-daughters also! God Bless You! )

    

Why God Made Little Girls
By: Noah Eaton
10/9/01

And so He said, “Let there be smiles and laughs and cheer
“Let sugar fill the heart of the spirit of youth!”
So God made little girls to spread scintillating cheer and delight
Singing songs and prancing about to touch me and you

Barbies and Barney and Lite-Brite sets
Coloring books and costume parties galore!
Sugar and spice and everything nice
The laughter these angels make is one I can never ignore

They cuddle up in your lap when you feel exhausted
They love to play with their cute dolls and stuffed animals
When you watch them dance and bow before your eyes
They make you smile and forget of all your woes

They love to shower their moms with flowers for no reason at all
They love to share what they learned to their dear dads
My oh my, how their manners do shine when they love to help
And still have time to crawl and play with their trinkets and knick-knacks

Girls should always feel so truly special
They make us feel quite special all the time
They light your heart when you feel glum too
Like when Heidi said, “When you look at me that way, it makes me want to cry!”

Even when girls grow up and become dear women
The sweet spirit of the child giggles deep in their wombs
A little girl’s essence is the affection she shares
To whom sweet endearment and sororal love blooms

God made sweet little girls to light our hearts
Where in their eyes beauty bestows
Share a smile with every little girl you meet
You know at first glance you'll have a smile lull!




"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Dearest Noah...thank you so much for that lovely poem.
I think you will be the world's best daddy when the time comes...
and I hope you have at least one little girl, because they are special and they deserve sensitive men like yourself for daddies.

You have such a caring and wonderful soft spot in your heart. I printed this out to hang on my refrig. The honor spot in our house. I also forwarded it to my precious daughter, Beth.
Hugs, Marti
