Born in London, as a new day dawns,
We wake in Prague to greet you,
New Zealand sees your beauty, too.
Majestic, infant Mercury,
Speeding, instantly, around the world,
Though your perfect tiny toes are curled!
We gaze at your loveliness from afar,
Full of awe and love and wonder,
At our brand new, dazzling Northern Star,
The brightest light which shines!
The centre of our firmament:
Dear Juliet! How great you are!
The joys that grandaughters bring never fades,
each new day enhances the memories of those previous
Thanks so much, Holden, for your lovely comments. It means a lot to me. Thanks for the like Frederick. 😀
The joys of grandparent hood. A lot less work than parenting, for sure 😂
