The Birthday Girl

Brielle led a group

of 3-4 year olds in what

she called a run-run

as they headed in a

meandering style

to the party table

guarded by two parents

making sure flying

creatures didn’t spoil

this special day.

Her thoughts of tasty

goodies had moved them

along a little too quickly

golden locks-a-flying.

Some tripped in the grass

and rolled around delightfully

their singing and screeching

had a few parents almost weeping.

from fatigue.

During the celebration

grandpa asked “Did you have

a good party as he lifted her

high in the air. Yes. Yes. 

So how old are you? he teased.  

I’m free granddad. I’m free.

Grandpa proud.
