A Part Of Me Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

You are a part of me, child
It's undeniably true.
Hear how you say certain words;
See those silly things you do!

I'm in your mannerisms,
Little gestures and odd moods;
I'm in your taste of clothing,
Even in your choice of foods.

In many of your features
From your crown to baby toes,
It's obvious we're related
And a fact everyone knows.

I'm so happy that you are;
Yes, as proud as I can be.
And I know you're just as proud
That you are a part of me.


Author's notes:
This poem was inspired as I watched my grandson one day.
Parents and grandparents must be careful at all times for there are little eyes watching them. Maybe you have seen similarities in your children and grandchildren that have amazed you. Loyd
