Granddaughter called today, on Facetime  
and in her hand, a big balloon  
she said: "it's almost past my bedtime,  
but grandpa, are you coming soon?  
We have new flowers in our garden",  
she hiccupped then, then added "Pardon!,  
and also mommy said I could  
get a new puppy, if I'm good!"

"I'll see you soon", I said, "my dearest"  
the screen had just been at its clearest  
the pictured turned a little blurry  
and hastily, I wiped a tear  
"real, really soon, hon, don't you worry,  
I'll see you really soon, my dear"
