A very special day

So many loves throughout this life,

loves both given and loves received

Loves in the past, some long forgotten,

Many gone from this world, 

some merely lost to me.

Perhaps more love than I ever deserved

has come my way, truly blessing me.

And then there's this new love

who has overtaken our lives

whose name(s) we chant day in and day out

the spouse and I, crazy Dadi and Dadu

Far away though we may be, 

convinced that our thoughts get through

the miles that separate us......

So full of joy today, willing to shout out

to the world, be of good cheer, 

may joy abound everywhere, 

let the world forget it's myriad woes

just for a day

as we celebrate our little grandchild's 

second birthday!
