NINE-YEAR-OLD POET

Today the mailman came with something very special.

Daisy, the oldest of ten grandchildren, created a greeting card just for me, Papa, in anticipation of my visit to their home in the Philippines in about three weeks.

The front of the card shows a smiley face. I'm guessing the word "Pop" is short for "Papa".

The inside of the card contained an original poem by a highly skilled nine-year-old poet. (The poem can be enlarged simply by clicking it.)
