I wrote this for Simon and Milo, my grandsons, but I extend these wishes to all the children of the world.

     
*
With your wonder-filled trusting eyes
you set out to discover our planet Earth,
absorbing every tiny shade of color
in your still blank space of memories.

May your feet touch upon safe playground
and may you always find wise guidance!


All of you come from a place of love,
you touch our hearts with blissful smiles,
reaching out to share the heavenly gift
of your innate beauty, kindness and charm.

May you always know that you are loved
and may you hear the sweet melodies of life!


You show us your unique creative talents
by expressing your innermost imaginations,
by giving your life your very special touch
and by singing your own fascinating tunes.

May you be given the freedom to be yourself
and may you ride your waves in fearless joy!


Your mind overflows with fantastic ideas,
you learn what we do or don’t do down here,
you instinctively know how to improve things,
you prepare for the co-creation of a better world.

May you believe in the power of your means
and may you be able to manifest all your dreams!

*

... and a big thank you to dear Marge for the inspiration and the loving collaboration with the picture of Simon and Milo!

Simon and Milo are especially blessed
having you for a grandma, sweet Margherita.
Soon they will be writing with you!

Thank you my dear Poet friends for stopping by ...
children are a source of joy and the most precious resource of tomorrow.
I do hope we shall be able to accompany them adequately on their path.
Of course I adore Simon and Milo, and as all the parents and grandparents of the world I wish the best for them.

Love,
Margherita
