Poem: "A Spring Song for our Granddaughter... and Every Other Child in the World..." by Estelle & Harvey Jacobs of Sag Harbor, NY (Estelle & Harvey's Bios) Little Charlotte swallowed spring; Later Charlotte learned to sing: Her voice is honey, clear and strong Carried by the wind along To secret places where sleeping birds Wake to the music of her words "The sun's returned, the sky's aglow!" All memory melts of ice and snow, Replaced by hope of gentle hours, Dreams of life and love and flowers! The days grow long, the night's embrace Visions of Charlotte's lovely face, Make constellations in the sky Yield to the twinkle in her eye. A full and drifting jealous moon Hears the call of Charlotte's tune, Rustling leaves and swaying trees, A frisky, dancing, teasing breeze Heralds a tinkling April rain... And everything begins again. Little Charlotte swallowed spring; Later, Charlotte learned to sing...  About the authors:
