Watermelon Baby

It’s one of the last of the juicy summer

watermelons from her Grandpa’s garden.  

  Wouldn’t it be fun to take pictures of

a pretty little lady with an enormous piece? 

  Little Shayla was delighted to have

her own huge slice. 

 

“Mum, mum” she said.  

 Juice dripped down her chin

and squished through her fingers. 

 Her cheeks puffed out as she munched.  

The white dress turned sufficiently

 watermelon colored.   

I love this darling niece of mine!

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

he refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for his name’s sake."

Psalm 23:1-3
