She loves to follow in the footsteps of her older sisters

Her vocabulary is extensive and at times I wonder,
how in Heaven's name does she know what a circle is?

And every time she looks at me with her precious face,
I wonder if her grandmother saw a similar face 
looking up at her so many years ago.

Every breath of hers is one I find miraculous. I wonder if the wonder of her life will every cease to astound me. We miss you.
