An elderly man strolling along his lakeside,
paused thoughtfully when he spied
his granddaughter sitting in the shade of a tree.
Looking up from her painting, her eyes filled with glee.
Walking toward young girl, his gait was a bit slow.
Grandfather greeted lovely child with a smiling hello.
What are those funny creatures on the page, he asked in jest.
Come look, she replied. Dragonflies, butterflies, small winged-ones are the best.
With a chuckle in his heart, leaning closer, what did he see?
A ladybug tattoo on her little knee.
What splendid art work, he declared, as he pointed to the pretty ink.
Grandfather, I painted it with magic, she said with a wink.
His laughter resounded with love and a hug.
He whispered in her ear, then kissed the ladybug.
Grandfather left without further say;
Granddaughter giggled when the tattoo flew away.
