Santiago's Tata

My grandson Santiago
Is such a clever boy
He's nearly 5 years old
He's starting school next year
He loves to be a super hero
He loves to be play all day
He loves visiting his Tata Manuel
(That's Spanish for grandpa!)
He copies everything his Tata does
Especially at Christmas time
When Tata sets up the Christmas lights
He follows along behind
Fiddling with the fairy lights 
(Pretending that he's doing the same)
Fiddling with the decorations 
(Pretending that he is his Tata)
Making sure that everything's all right!
He watches everything his Tata does
He loves him oh so much!
When Tata went back to Chile
To visit with his ill family
Santiago missed him so very much
But when Tata got back
Worried that he'd been forgotten
Santiago was there to show him
With many hugs and kisses
Santiago was there for cuddles
There to show his love
The blessing of God's little children
Showing how much we are all so loved 
Especially at Christmas time
When we celebrate Jesus' birth
That's when Santiago and his Tata
Are so full of mirth!
