To my Natalie

This smile, so infectious.
Monkeys so pretentious.
Her eyes glow with wonder.
Reminders of when I was younger!
Each day, new discoveries.
Life's little mysteries!
There is so much that I do miss.
Such as;
your hugs and your juicy kiss.
You are always in my thoughts,
I cant wait to show you what I was taught.
Curious; what will you be?
As you grow, so speedily.
Your imagination, your dreams, only you can tell.
For you, my grand daughter, my heart does swell.
You may not a complete mirror image of me.
But I know inside you, I do see.
That there is art and history.
An old soul, is what you are.
A glorious and brilliant shining star.
I am always there with you.
In your heart, you feel it too.
The older you get, the closer we'll become.

-this is a poem (one of them) that I composed for my grand daughter. Please enjoy
