For My Grandson

                                                                                     To Evan Clark my new grandchild  my heart & soul you so beguiled  for when i gaze upon your face  i know i'm in my rightful place.  God grant you wisdom, strength & wealth  and happiness & long-kept health  for these are life's most cherished things  and if these gifts God to you brings.  I cannot ask much more than this  but grandson i would be remiss  if i forgot to wish you love...  of cherished things that's list'd above  It's paramount...one day you'll see  and on that day you will agree  but now lets speak of other things  like how you've given my heart wings  To soar up in the highest heights  'cause for your life i've lofty sights  i picture you with great success  you'll surely rise above the rest.  But Evan please remember this...  i hope you understand my gist  WHATEVER in life you become  I'll be most proud you're my grandson.                                                         Copyright Writer's Soapbox 1999.

Additional Notes:
Well gentle reader(s)...i must tell you all...i wrote this the very day my wofe phoned me while i was at work to inform me that i had been blessed with my first (& thus far), ONLY grandchild. I should say here & now that although i am sure you will find MANY grammatical errors & such, i wouldn't entertain changing ONE WORD !! I wrote this poem from the heart..corny, i know..but so VERY true... & when i read the last stanza to myself, i wept..uncontrollably & unashamedly... For those of you who have been blessed with grandchildren, i am sure i need explain no further... I had this poem put into a hard cover book called Reflections by Moonlight...an Anthology of Verse consisting of amateur Canadian Poets... When Evan is old enough (he is 5 yrs old now), i will give him this book & hope he cherishes the love that MADE me write this poem !!
