My Dear Granddaughter

My fortune increased with the birth of you, my dear grandchild
— With a mind of your own
You arrived a week before you were supposed to
Just like that, with a warrior’s cry “here I am!”

You are ever so small and bright
— An absolute delight
Two tiny little hands and feet
With all of ten fingers and toes…
