In your smile, I see the years rewind,
A bond so pure, unbroken by time.
Through every season, near or far,
You are forever my shining star.

A thread of gold, through life we weave,
In my heart, you'll never leave.

Be Yourself, My Dear
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
My sweet granddaughter, hear me well,
A little wisdom I wish to tell.
Through life’s journey, near and far,
Always remember just who you are.
The world may whisper, change your way,
Try to shape the words you say.
But stand up tall, don’t dim your light,
Stay true to you—shine ever bright!
Some may judge, some may stare,
But don’t you worry, don’t compare.
Your heart is strong, your mind is wise,
Don’t trade your truth for fleeting ties.
Kindness matters, let it show,
Plant the seeds and watch them grow.
Treat each person with love and grace,
A little kindness lights the place.
Dream your dreams, reach up high,
There’s no limit but the sky.
With faith and courage, walk your way,
No one else can take your place.
So, my dear, just be you,
A heart so kind, a soul so true.
I love you more than words can say,
Be yourself—come what may.
