My grandson will turn one today
I wonder if he can walk
what words can he say?
does he have a favorite toy
that he carries around all day?

How much hair does he have?
Do he and his sister get along?
What does he like to eat?
Does he sleep well at night?

I have so many questions
because you see, I've yet
to have the pleasure of
being in the same room with him

I was not told of his birth
no announcement ever came
it was only by accident
that I even know he exists

Author's Note: I just don't know what to say.
