| At five o'clock this morning...almost time to go... had to be at work about...half past six or so! my hand was on the doorknob...through darkness I could see... Madison Olivia raised her head...and then she called to me! if anybody tells you...that what I say's not true... all of them were sound asleep...and did not have a clue! so, I walked over to her...she reached her little arms... I never knew a grandchild...could have such special charms! we sat down in the rocker...that baby girl and I... she talked and laughed for half an hour, and watched her grandpa cry! yes, all the while she jabbered...in a language all her own... as all my heart could think about...was too soon she'd be gone! we shared those special moments... Madison...God...and me... I asked him to watch over her...wherever she might be! then gently I walked over...and put her back to bed... she snuggled up beside her mom...I kissed her on the head! then I eased out the doorway...as quiet as could be... though no one else could see, I'm sure...she waved good-bye to me!
