Wonderfully original and beautiful homage to daughter Grace. 21! ! Wow! ... Does that make me feel old! Hope she reads this, as this testament of love is one of the finest I have ever read.

I wondered what had inspired this strange mix of poetry and science when I read the first verse. Then I reached the final stanza the import of the number 7670 became beautifully and tenderly clear. What a fabulous birthday poem! Filled with fascinating facts, magical trivia and ideas that stretch the imagination to the very edge. And then the intensely almost apologetic final verse which shares that special love that only a father knows. I hope she keeps this to show her children on their 21st. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
