What a love and joy to see you, <br />Your blond hair shines in the sun, <br />Your smile doth capture my heart strings, <br />We are going to have such fun <br /> <br />Gran dad walkies you say to me, <br />As you tightly hold my hand, <br />Let’s go play hide and seek, <br />Under this tree I will count and stand, <br /> <br />A bridge over the stream in the wood let’s look, <br />I will gather some twigs for Fun sticks we will play, <br />We both throw our Fun sticks into the brook, <br />Whose twig will be first under the bridge this way? <br /> <br />Such fun and so delightful, <br />We have had such a lovely day, <br />We are so exhausted, <br />And you are so tired and need your sleep, <br /> <br />I feel we are so lucky, <br />To have a grand daughter like you, <br />And also such a daughter, <br />Who made sure we got to know you, <br /> <br />Such a love so overwhelming, <br />So sure so strong so true, <br />One thing I will always remember, <br />Is when I played Fun Sticks with you? <br /> <br />(Ref Winnie the Pooh)<br /><br />Anthony Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-ellen-to-play-fun-sticks-with-you/
