I saw you Friday night
The smile that lit up your face
Your pudgy hands reaching out
to be taken from your mother’s arms

I saw your fine, gold hair
your sparkling eyes
that spelled love –
for the one reaching back for you

It was a fleeting moment in time
The arms reaching were not mine
not allowed to be mine

You are growing up much too quickly
That is the way with babies
Baby today – adult tomorrow

I hope to get to know you
have your eyes light up for me
Until then – GROW! Strong!
Healthy – happy loved

yours always,
GG <3
