Fall’s great masterpiece
wiped from nature’s huge canvas
winter’s quick cold hand

ONE OF A KIND
I have a priceless masterpiece
Truly, one of a kind
The greatest work of human art
That anyone can find
It’s my precious great Grandsons
And, oh, what joy they bring
Each time I hold them close to me
My very being sings
The cutest little hands and feet
Beautiful deep blue eyes
Sweetest little nose and mouth
And ears, a perfect size
I’m sure they’re just like other tots
In looks and physique
With components that are most choice
Which makes him quite unique
We’re all so happy with them
But, why shouldn’t we be
One makes no changes in the best
And they’re the best, you see

(Christopher)

Truly, one of a kind
The greatest work of human art

It’s my precious new Grandson
And, oh, what joy he brings
Each time I hold him close to me
My very being sings
The cutest little hands and feet
Beautiful deep blue eyes
Sweetest little nose and mouth
And ears, a perfect size
I’m sure he’s just like other tots

We’re all so happy with him
But, why shouldn’t we be
One makes no changes in the best
And he’s the best, you see

GOD’S MASTERPIECE
(Toni)
Heaven’s gate must have opened
And a cherub slipped through
I know, because I’ve seen you
And hugged and kissed you, too
You’re quite a little treasure
Perfect in every way
A rosebud from God’s Garden
A flower in my bouquet
You’ve cast your spell upon me
And I don’t mind at all
In fact I rather like it
Being charmed by one so small
And what a perfect word to give
To someone just like you
GRANDchild fits you perfectly
I promise you, it”s true
God formed your pretty little mouth
And made it mighty sweet
Then He worked to perfection
On your wee hands and feet
Next, He formed your tiny nose
And eyes, (the bluest blue)
He fashioned perfect little ears
And silken hair, too
He kissed your cheeks to make them pink
And dimpled both your knees
And then He sent you on your way
Knowing you would please
You’re a marvelous little Angel
Although there’s not one wing
And I’ve fallen in love with you
My precious little thing
