Davey

By ella rue

Daddy... your newest grandson

(not so new anymore...

now he is four no longer a "baby" He's "big" now....)

was here today....(and in a sense so were you)

You never got to meet him (or maybe you did... esoterically)

You left us before he joined us.

He is as you were... a delight. ...but different in his appetite... (!)

he is as picky as picky can be... (oatmeal for an Easter dinner?)

He gives and causes laughter.

Our dog... is a "moose" (or so we call her)

He is afraid (that would be Davey... not the dog)

but in a brave sort of way... stoically standing his ground! (Not willing to budge with his fear or his bravery)

His silliness is as yours was... offering and causing smiles.

Faces made kisses offered (wet and juicy) love given...(freely and with no expectation)

seems your heart lives on....
