This week’s prompt word is “body.”
It was a body like no other. I was mesmerised, captivated, frozen in time almost.
I looked at you and thought is that really you?
I was fooled to believe you were not as I imagined at all.
Legs that went all the way to your bum and
I knew would carry you with an elegance I could only describe.
I have admired your arms, their strength is obvious to me, they will carry you safely thought life. I can see you will fend off all aggressors, all detractors. You will be ok.
The force of your voice tends to lead me to the conclusion you will be one who stands up for what you believe, you will make your intentions known to all and sundry around you.
The one thing that has stunned me most is your eyes.
From the moment of our meeting you fixed me with your gaze, you held me enthralled, I was drawn in I knew you were going to be a person of quality, a person of substance a person who will know her destiny and make every effort to achieve in ways I will be enchanted by.
Yes my newest darling grand daughter, I see you as growing into a woman of determination and courage.
I will watch as your tiny body grows into a woman we will all be so proud of.

Beautiful! And congrats on this new addition to your family 🙂
Thank you so much she is grandchild number seven.
You are one blessed grandpa, and she a blessed granddaughter! “From the moment of our meeting you fixed me with your gaze, you held me enthralled, I was drawn in I knew you were going to be a person of quality, a person of substance a person who will know her destiny and make every effort to achieve in ways I will be enchanted by.” – it’s so amazing when one day she’s old enough to read and understand this, to read this post and see herself through your doting eyes 🙂
Thanks so much alexis you are very kind.
Great welcome into this world, Michael! I hope she gets to read it one day. Meanwhile congratulations to you.
Thanks Gabriella. She is four weeks old now,I shall go and visit her later, I have cooked a casserole for her mum and dad.
A proud grand dad indeed. You are both lucky you have each other. Wonderful tribute to her Michael.
Thank you Jackie. Yes we are the lucky ones.
The moment I read´bum´I knew! It brought me back to those occupy moments admiring my daughter.your granddaughter is so blessed!
She is such a sweety. I had a little time with her this afternoon, she sleeps a lot but I know she loves her Gdad.
That is so sweet. Best wishes to Arria and her family, Michael.
I’m glad her legs go all the way to her ‘bum,’ it would be extremely difficult to get around if they didn’t 😀 Seriously though, Michael, I can see this little one wrapping you around her little finger.
LOL I’m still two ahead of you in the grandchildren stakes 😉
Show off. I will have 8 come September. remembering their birthdays is always going to be a challenge.Thanks for your comment. I think you may be right about that finger business.
Awww, this is so sweet. Congratulations on grandchild number seven! 😀

How wonderful!! A precious grandchild brought into the world!
Beautifully written, Michael and congratulations. Although I follow, I actually came specifically to this post through the prompt in Linda’s post as I flurry around trying to catch up on all I have missed out on.
Only 2 months to go before number 8 arrives I see!

Thanks Lou yes another in September, a boy this time. Hope your day is going well.
How many boys and how many girls now?
We just made choc chip cookies, and my house smells delicious – things couldn’t be better! 🙂
Will be six boys two girls. Your house would be smelling good then.
*nods* How often do you get to see them all? Are they all close or a little all over the country?
One is in Brisbane but as of today they are all going to be nearby. My eldest daughter has moved back today from Melbourne.
#Yay! Always lovely to have family close by 🙂 (almost always)
We shall see she has been away a long time.
LOVE!
What else can I say?
Thank you RoSy you nailed it again.
