I absolutely love listening to our just-turned three-year-old grandson
belting out 'I waise a hawewoowah'
Dear Grand-sonny, we love all of what makes you...you!

What a happy birthday supper we had😊
He knew we needed exercise
And good reasons to pray
An endless stream of chatter
And the melody of play
Reminders of pure innocence
Sweet naughtiness and noise
To keep us not quite so uptight
So God made little boys
He knew sometimes we would need more
Than words can quite explain
Like splashing through lake- puddles
In or after the rain
Like learning to think bigger
By studying smaller joys
Like digging in the garden-dirt
So God made little boys
He knew we would find freedom
In the teeny ties that bind
Our hearts as chubby fingers tug
Us from chores left behind
For worlds of bugs, slugs, ants and bees
Better than heaps of toys
As we learn on our hands and knees
So He made little boys
…to keep our conscience keener
And our common care more sweet
To make our pastures greener
As we both follow and lead
To make love’s gladness purer
In the sieve of simple joys
God knew we would need laughter
So He made little boys
