A Cute Little Blonde

A Cute Little Blonde
By Larry Linville

We went out for breakfast this morning
and saw a little blonde with curly hair.
She looked so much like my granddaughter did
And all I could do was just stare.

I watched as she played with her father
She giggled and teased and she kissed.
I was filled with all those sweet memories
That after a decade – I missed.

I pulled out a picture of my granddaughter
And was headed across the way
I wanted to show him the future
And how his daughter would look some day.

As I approached the table to see them
I knew I would bring them great joy.
When I asked about their cute little girl
Abruptly they said, “he’s a boy!”

This is very cute and I can definitely relate to it. My son has beautiful long eye lashes and very curly hair and when he was 14 months old it was down to his shoulders. People were always telling me that I had a very pretty little girl and I was alwys saying, "yes, he is very handsome, isn't he?"
