Alex Haley

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.  Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.

My smiling child,
Named for a noble ancestor.
Great hunter or warrior
You will be one day,
Which will give your papa pride.
But always I will remember you thus.

When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand, nor can your hand pick up anything.
