Anticipation

After months of anticipation

Filled with so much emotion

D-day has finally arrived

As my excitement runs rife.

I last held her in my arms in May last year

Memories I hold so dear

The mere thoughts of cuddling her again

Are literally driving me insane.

My granddaughter has a special way

To make me miss her every day

Love oozes from my heart

Without any effort on my part.

Now watching her exiting from the arrival hall of Miri Airport

My heart does a somersault

She smiles demurely at me

My spirit soars like a bird set free.

I hold her tight in my embrace

Thanking the Lord for his grace

She calls me grandpa

Oh my dearest Kayla!
