My dear
grandchildren,
I miss you each day and my thoughts
are with you, more than I can say.
My oldest, my gorgeus grandson
Emil,
born October 15, 1990,
- looks exactly as his dad!
Min
sweet granddaughter Sara,
born June 3, 1991, in Sweden.
Sara lives since lot's of years
in Norway.
Dear
little Felicia, born April 24, 1997.
Emil's cute little sisterThis
is for you, dear ones, with all my love:
"To my grandchild, with overwhelming love:
On you may fortune smile with ample blessings.
May your happiness persistent prove.
Yet may you, in your angry inner wrestlings,
Grant others the compassion you'd be given,
Restoring not their sunlight, but your own.
All your life may what you do be driven
Not by others' ends, but yours alone.
Days of awe and wonder may you cherish,
Clarity and mystery the same:
Hymns antiphonal that never perish,
Imitating truths you cannot name.
Let love of life make your life ever new,
Deep and rich as is my love for you."
by Nicholas Gordon
