Laugh a little

Watching, by MwsR

Simple as that, you came into my life

Tiny yet strong, you made your presence known

All that saw you knew you were special

But your Mommaw knew it first.

Feeling you move inside your mommy’s tummy

I felt a sense like I never had known before.

Feelings flowed like a blanket covering my heart.

I was in this for the long haul,

Since then you have been a constant by my side,

My best world all in a tiny person.

I love you and you make me smile

Even on the worst days, you make it worthwhile.

My “love love”, forever and a day

Thank you for all your love, you give my way.
My granddaughter at birth.

My granddaughter around age 1
Her again…

Fun Friday

Taking a break from Word press. Taking my grandkids out for fun.

Poem

Art….by MSR

From out of the dark
Emerges a spark
Into a space
Leaving a trace
Colors a drifting
Making a living
Splatters give meaning
Blended from your living
One stroke leads a stream
Hand and art a team
Canvas that has a story
It is such glory
The tale a picture can tell
When the artist comes out of their shell.
