Poetry

For My Granddaughter

Since early morning I’ve been humming
these little verses just for you,
my lovely granddaughter, my sunshine,
today you’re turning ten, it’s true.

Milla, sweet Milla, little lady,
a little blues flower came your way,
a little poem from your grandpa,
written with love for your special day.

Today there’ll be so many wishes,
for Milla is a gentle child,
and I will proudly tell the whole world
she hides so many talents inside.

Milla, sweet Milla, little lady,
a little blues flower came your way,
a little poem from your grandpa,
written with love for your special day.

I wish you joy and happy laughter,
and all your dreams to come alive,
and may your teachers and your parents
always listen and help you shine.

Milla, sweet Milla, little lady,
a little blues flower came your way,
a little poem from your grandpa,
written with love for your special day.
