Well written in easy to read Quatrain format. Your pleasant rhyme scheme zipped me right through which I'm sure it will do most of your readers. I've always felt a religious element to grandchildren. Perhaps not a pure biblical life everlasting, but humbling to look upon them and know part of you will live forever. Well done. (We're competitors in this contest .... I would vote for you!). Bill

What a blessing he is Roy. I love your
tribute to this very special boy on his 5th birthday.
it was God's plan for him to arrive safely and I'm
sure he is destined for great things.
Good luck in the contest. Nancy

Comment from Janet Foor
Great tribute to your sweet grandson. I have a sweet grandson named Josiah too but mine just turned 18.
Very nice rhyming couplets.
It was a joy to read your poem and your author's notes.

Thanks Janet, for this beautiful review, comments and stars, your Josiah is an older boy, apparently Josiah is the no. 62 most popular name in the U.S. A bit of information, blessings, Roy.

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful child. Thank you for the author notes. They added to the depth of understanding this miracle child. I enjoyed reading the poem, and thinking of God's miracles. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Hi Roy,
Oh, how cute Jo-Jo is. A wonderful gift from God. You don't need to ask for us to excuse your pride. You have every right to it. I truly enjoyed what you wrote in your author notes about him and also for the great Bible verses.
Blessings, my friend! Kat

Thank you Kat, for this most generous, amazing and empathetic review and stars, he's such an affectionate boy, adores his brothers and has a real enquiring gleam in his eye, they are all so precious, blessings, Roy.
Comment from Veeb
Such a beautiful boy and a lovely tribute for his birthday. I agree that he (and all children) are gifts from God. Josiah is an unusual name, but I don't believe in coincidences; only providence. This quatrain seems to meet all the requirements for the prompt, and so I wish you well in the contest. I enjoyed reading this very much. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Sanku
Your very justifiable pride and the awareness of God's blessing make this poem a very special one .He is a fighter and is bound to go places. True God always decide what your life is going to be.

Comment from Sloegin
Beautiful picture.
Having read your, "Author Notes," I reread your post. It was even more beautiful the second read.
Your rhyming is a delight, nothing sounds forced. Your choice of words leaves nothing to figure out for the reader.
Your last two lines close the poem with a powerful message.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Roy - A lovely well written poem about your grandson and the picture of him is gorgeous. Good rhyming couplets throughout. Reading your author notes, like you, I think he was meant to be despite all the initial problems. The only place where I hesitated and had to reread were in lines l and 2. Line 1 is in the past tense and sounds like the light does not still shine, - 'now lights your eyes' perhaps! Line 2 does not sound right - again it sounds like Jo-Jo has already explored his future - 'though yet explored' - maybe 'though unexplored' - just a thought on a lovely verse and Jo-Jo is not just a very attractive boy but gifted as well. No need to apologise for being proud - I would feel the same. Good luck in the contest - Warm regards Dorothy x
