It’s only been nine months but Violet, our great-granddaughter
is growing up in a happy home.
Her parents and family will always be there to shower her with love…
to lend a helping hand…
It is our hope that her first memories
will be of a home
she calls her wonderland.
Her parents, family and friends have covered her land
with everything they consider worthwhile…
She will never want for love…a touch, a hug, a kiss…a smile.
Everything we say and do…are meant to make her smile…
to enhance her self-esteem…
to create a cozy and pleasant wonderland
where she will be inspired to wish and hope and dream.
Wow! We’re proud of you! Great job reaching for the sky!
We knew you could do it! We believe in you! Congratulations!…
Way to go! Nice try!
We know with every word of support and encouragement
even if she’s heard these words before…
her courage and resolve will strengthen
and her confidence will soar.
So one day when she’s older her parents will sit back and smile
knowing they had a hand
In providing her the foundation…to build her own wonderland.
As I watch Violet’s Mom, Dad, Grammy and Great-Nana
everyone…gently pick her up…and hold her…
and see the smiles on all their faces
as she lays her head upon their shoulders
It gives me hope…that if we could channel this feeling of love into everyone…
If we all took the time to lend more helping hands…
We would find ourselves living happily
in a world of wonderlands.
