Analysis of OONA a light



A light was born to make us smile
It was the gift of a new grandchild
How did we know how amazing she would grow
no one could imagine or venture to know
A wisp of a baby took time to form
a personality that is sweet and warm
She sings and dances and plays with dolls, but
is forceful and dynamic when the situation calls

5 years old with the heart of a lion
no telling what's in store when she trying
the hugs, the trampoline, the swing , the trapeze
together we play and experience these
Painting and crafts are high on the list
We can't forget making cookies to fill a dish
It's a force of nature that transformed us forever
When you hear her say "I Love You" it's with us
         Ever and Ever
