Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Too soon to know?

It’s unfair to heighten expectations.

It’s too early to make a judgment call.

I am no real expert in physiognomy,

But, as I gaze down at your lovely face,

There is no shadow of a doubt at all,

Intelligence, friendship, beauty and love,  

all flow freely through your every vein.

 

So may you, with happiness, now proceed.

You have all the support you could ever need,

from parents steeped in golden  qualities.

Grow stronger from your auspicious seed!

My darling granddaughter, Juliet,

You are a lucky girl, indeed!

I think you are right, Graham. We have to try to be impartial.... 😀

It's great to read the work of a 'new' grandparent. It's made me look back at all the pieces I wrote when ours started popping out (we have eight now).

Whilst we try our best (and largely succeed) in being totally impartial, and love them all, there will be one, I can assure you, that will tug those heartstrings harder than the others.

Enjoy these precious years John.
