I sat down to write my first blog, and this is what came out. I hope a poem is okay for day one of A-Z. Tomorrow I will try to write something in more of a "blog" format, whatever that may be.
My first grandchild turned one today. This is for him.

We step outside
into the wind
You gasp as
it takes your breath away
Three-hundred sixty-five days
A full trip around the Sun
and now you're one
A year of smiles
sitting, crawling
dancing, singing songs
Your tiny hand, once clutching
swaddled blankets
now reaches up to grasp mine
Time flies past me
and takes my breath away

Thank you for the information, Jemima! I do have a couple of subjects in mind for later letters, so this is great to know.
