My wife Carol and I have recently returned from a visit to Colorado to meet our newborn fifth grandchild and second grandson.  "Tenny" is a great little guy with a developing personality and an insatiable appetite.  We are so pleased to have finally met him, and we miss him greatly.  

For My Grandson, Tennyson Parkhurst (with apologies to Alfred Lord Tennyson)

Bald-headed grandson whose name is one

with mine.

Filled with laughter and babble and earth's

new wine

Now that the time of more than a month

is thine

O little man of mine and David

of mine,

Smile, for the name at the head of this

verse is thine.

May you always take pride in your name

and of mine.
