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
