(For my grandson, Christian Michael) You gazed into my eyes tonight I spied a glimmer of delight A smile filled with heaven’s grace So swiftly spread across your face Alone we were, just you and me Enraptured in sweet reverie These times of ponder are the best By far more special than the rest I gazed into your eyes tonight You filled my soul with sheer delight You touched my hand and then my face A moment safe from time’s erase Those eyes that will a future see Long after I shall cease to be Tonight have told me I am blessed They’ll not forsake me when I rest They’ll carry me long past this night Remembering long gone delight Recalling well this time and place When we were touched by heaven’s grace And through your eyes I too will see Those future days still yet to be Long after I am laid to rest You’ll sing for me that we were blessed. 01/10/2000 [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 06-21-2000).] |

Ah, Denise, your poetry is never better than when you write about your grandson. Precious work... In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. |

I'm lost in happy memories of when my Grandma used to sit and read me bedtime stories or play in the garden with my brother and I. Thanks for taking me back there! Eric. |

Denise... this is absolutely lovely... there's nothing like a grandmother's love... this is a wonderful piece! I haven't seen the others you've submitted yet for the book, but will look... you are a very special and caring person at passions who has always taken the time to give back sooooo much to the community... and you are a fine poet!!... of course, you have my vote here... but I want to vote for more of yours because I want to see several of yours published.  be well. Great writing. |
