    A Girl Named Charlotte!
    A Girl Named Charlotte!

    It's been just over three years ago
    We all prayed
    For ten fingers, and ten toes

    Long and pink with lungs so strong
    So beautiful, so sweet
    Certainly she belonged

    My son is such a proud dad
    Didn't seem so long ago
    That he was just my wee lad

    Milestone after milestone
    It was plain to see
    This li'l girl
    Was meant to be
    One day sitting atop a throne

    I'm too young to be a Gram
    Not my plan, not for me
    But she was my girl
    And I, her Grammy D

    I wouldn't trade her
    For all the land
    Not even for
    A really good man

    Hair of flaxen, soft as silk
    Eyes so blue
    Skin like milk
    But don't let her beauty fool you

    She knows what she needs
    And just how to get it
    A smile from her
    Could cure disease

    My son thinks he has control
    But at days end
    She's the one who takes the toll

    Tears in his eyes, tears of joy
    Not so long ago
    He was my boy

    All this love
    All this joy
    All from a girl named Charlotte!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
