as i stood there that day holding you
watching you look at all the fish
all kinds of colors and shapes
looking at your face
watching those expressions on your face
watching those eyes move back and forth
up and down
you seemed mesmerized
im sure your little brain was filling up as it
experienced all this new stuff
heck
even i was mesmerized as i watched all the activity
then
you got to sit beside this big ole granddoggy
as she also watched all the fishes swim about
both of you
seemed so amazed
she the dog even tried to catch the fish
but
of course she couldnt
heck
you even reached out when that fast blue one swam just
inches from you outstretched little fingers
then the cage with all the butterflies and birds
this day could have been only topped off
if
a butterfly had fluttered down and landed on
your pretty little nose
now your gma mom and dad wouldnt let me
take you to the snake show
heck
i noticed they wouldnt go in there either
excuses dont count
dont worry ms b
well get a snake so you can hold it
pet it
experience it
so you wont be afraid of them
so as i sit here looking at the pictures of the day
a week later
i too am mesmerized by them
all i can think is
isnt grandfathering grand
the organicgreen doctor
Love those pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou paint the picture so well; what a lovely ode to ms b and the art of grandparenting.
