I'm back home now and I was thinking of how much you all mean to me.

Don't be scared of being scared.

It was the best day ever,
when my pop woke up,
I hugged him so tight,
and told him I was scared.
he said "Don't be scared,
of being scared!"
I knew he was alright,
he was talking upside down again.
I didn't really get it,
I didn't really see it,
I thought it was because,
I was a kid he was special,
because he was MY granddad.
Now I get it, it's because he's him,
that's what makes him special.
and I know you all get it,
Is that because you're all special too,
Oh, now I GET IT!!!

I love this tribute to your Pop - - and Chrissy the title you chose will be so helpful when "scared" comes along again-- he is very special and so are you -- in fact as the poem reminds us everyone has something to love - keep writing your heart into words.

I love your poem, Pumpkin. And you're precious, and your Pop is precious and everyone in the world is precious just the same, and keep writing poems so we can watch you grow up and make Pop so proud. :)
