ODE TO GRACIE

Ode to Gracie


She was never expected or planned for this world,
But where would our lives be without this endearing little girl.
Eyes of blue and hair of blonde,
In my world, I’m so glad she belongs.
It’s been a long and winding year for me,
But every time I see that shiny little face, I lose track of my miseries.
I love how she speaks with jibber and tone,
I’m amazing at how she can actually use my iPhone.
“I hold you” she says with arms open wide,
I love how she scolds the puppies when playing outside.
She scatters her binkies and goes through them all,
And where would she be without her maw maw and paw paw.
Mac and cheese has got to be her favorite food,
Her devilish smile cracks me up when she’s up to no good.
I love how peaceful she is when under her blanky she sleeps,
And it breaks every bit of my heart when I see her weep.
My hope is that she grows up and becomes her best,
On that note I think I speak for the rest.
Oh where would we be without her in this place,
I’m glad I don’t know… for I love you more dear Grace.
