now ms b
you were around last christmas
but
well it wasnt the same
you werent running around
grabbing
touching
feeling
looking all wide eye
last year
well
im sure you enjoyed it
in your carrier way
but
this year
its sort of explosive
all those lights those colors those packages
we brought you a box of goodies
when we came to visit a few weeks ago
you enjoyed pulling the stuff out of the box
but
what did you enjoy the most
now kids sometimes like simple things more than
things that are expensive
and
things we think they want
well what did you do
well
you were like a cat
in and out of the big box
playing in it
letting us push you around the room in that
big ole box
with your laugh
your big bright wide open eyes
loving every minute of it
then
you would get out and push that box
around and around the house
such simple fun
such simple joy
is there a lesson for us to learn here
simple may be better
youd rather i think play with pots and pans
and
plastic lids and plastic tubs
than any of your toys
add to that that big ole box
you are one happy little girl
my type of person
simple things
simple fun
may you have a merry first real christmas this week
love
the organicgreen granddaddy
