Poem for a Five-Year-Old

Rachel

By Janene Baadsgaard

Happy Birthday my sweet granddaughter. 

I hope you have a happy day! 

I love you with all my heart.

When Rachel starts to dance

All the world is a stage

Those who form the audience

Are of every age

They clap and smile

And wave a kiss

For Rachel’s dances

You don’t want to miss

When a hard day comes along

Don’t despair

Watch Rachel dance

Then all the world is fair

For Rachel is a joyous soul

With so much love to share

                                                                      She smiles and hugs and giggles

                                                                   Only light is there

                                                                    Rachel is a diamond

                                                                       That sparkles from all sides

                                                                    She gives us light and sunshine

                                                                   So peace and joy abide
