 Penniluck's legacy

Haiku Child


To my lovely great grandchild Jess who is 8 years old today the 12/4/15 I met her for only the second time recently and now feel I can write too her and know who she is inside. Happy birthday baby love always hugs Nannie xxx

I saw this little sprite
When just a tiny mite
Big eyes...a smile to break your heart
Wisdom in her face
She knew the human race
So wise she was...right from the very start
But now that she is eight
I can appreciate
An old soul lives within her being
She wrote for me a Haiku
Words so tender...words so true
This little child has the gift of seeing
Life in all its glory
And she will tell the story
Of all the beauty that her heart can feel
So happy birthday baby
You`re quite a little lady
And every heart you meet my dear, you`ll steal
Have a happy day today
Play and play and play and play
And do not forget your Nannie loves you so
A special little lassie
So pretty kind and sassy
In life find joy my Jess where `er you go

Penniluck McGinnis
