My Little Kaylee Bug

In honor of my beautiful granddaughter Kaylee's 18th birthday I am reposting something I wrote for her 10 years ago. I cannot believe she is officially an adult. She is beautiful in every and I am so blessed to be her grandmother.  I love you Kaylee. Happy birthday!! 💖💖💖

My Little Kaylee Bug

Written 12/8/2010

One day when I was adrift

Angels brought me

A beautiful gift

With dark hair

Bright eyes

And a shining smile

You toddled right into my life

And brought me joy from above

At first I approached you with hesitation

Because I already loved you so

And I was afraid you'd have to go

I withheld my affection for a time

And waited on the sidelines

While I watched you grow

Then on that first Gotcha Day

When you became ours for good

I could finally show the love

I had hidden in my heart so long

For you see

You've always been my granddaughter

From the moment our eyes first met

But on our Gotcha Day

You were mine forever

And I knew you'd never go away

No, never

I know God brought you

From heaven above

With your bubbly smile

And your big heart of love

So, when life is no longer amusing

When you feel sad and blue

When the road before you is confusing

And you haven't got a clue what to do

Hold on tight to Jesus

He'll always see you through

But most of all remember

Your GeGe is looking out for you

So today here I am

It's your 8th birthday

And we're celebrating your life

Happy Birthday

My Little Kaylee Bug

I love you forever

For I'm your GeGe

Don't you see
