History Repeats Itself….

Those two weeks in Siam,
and the mourning time of the people over the king
I enjoyed the presence of my first grandchild
his enchanting voice, cute loud

I admire so much of his first reading moment, of course I am proud of it
thinking about how Vinhie spoke the words,
my heart jumps, such cutest tones,
apple, photo, baby, table, cake and stones

only two years old, I see that he uses his thoughts well, it's great!
long ago his father said the same things,
not from a glossy children's book,
but from coloured images, I drew them myself
all pictures are handmade on a piece of cardboard
his father was about 6 months younger,
loved milk so much
one day I pointed to a drawing,
it was a big apple
he looked at it for about thirty seconds and
then cheered with clear eyes:
.... Momma! ....


Specially for dearest Vinhie in Mae Sot, Thailand,
your Grandma Syl

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
POET´s NOTES
Grandson Vinh, also often called Vinhie, has "read" his first short words from a very beautiful children's book of the Bruna edition.

As Grandma of the first grandchild, everything is beautiful.
Especially when it concerns reading time at his very first time.
Just like he did his very first steps in Ghana at the time,
so fascinating, exuberant and to enjoy!

is now his very first reading moment,
especially cheered up by his cuteness of things when mentioning the words

he said them perfectly, we just need some words
recognize in his beautiful expressions.

A poem in Dutch, English, French, Indonesian, German, and Malay

Enjoy it as I still do
Thank you for reading and for the comment,

Cute voice of your grandchild is still in memory of emotion and affection of yours. The mourning time of the people over king is given importance. When grandchild reads for the first time it gives unlimited pleasure. Like Holy Basil, two years child has started spreading fragrance through his pronunciation. A bright future is of course waiting for your grandchild by God's grace. Vinhie remaining in Mae Sot, Thailand, looks around the globe. A great poem is excellently penned...10
