She enters on a cloud of pink...
She's never looked lovelier, I think.

I ask her to sit down awhile
And she gives me a warm and wining smile.

We have refreshments - she likes that -
And then we have a little chat.

She admires my knickknacks on the shelf
And I tell her just to help herself;

She looks at them all for a minute or two,
Then chooses a tiny glass kangaroo.

In a little while, she has to go,
But I've enjoyed her company so...

She leaves, and blows a kiss to me -
My little granddaughter - almost three!
