Excellent

The display of two shining hearts joined together is perfect for this loving poem to little Lexi. :)

This just made me tingle all over. What a joyous, love-filled poem.

I love you when I'm looking good and when I look a fright <--This is my favorite line. LOL So fun!

The great sing-songy rythym created a smile in my heart.
No suggestions.
Lexi is blessed to have a Nanny Jan. :)

Rdfrdmom2,

What a wonderful thing to do for your grandchild! I so enjoyed reading your lovely poem! Here is a part that really touched me:

"I love you when you're happy I love you when you seem sad
I'm even going to love you when you make a choice that's bad"

The world would be a better place if they all had someone to love and accept them like you have said so poetically here.

Love that she can be sure of and never have to fight for - just pure and simple unconditional love that will be there for her even when she makes a bad decision - this is absolutely lovely, Jan - what every child needs to hear and should have, though, sadly, all don't. Brooke :-)

This is sweet grandparent's love song, Rdfrdmom2. I enjoyed reading it...the rhymes and rhythm were satisfying and the sentiment simply lovely.

Good job.
